“…Like English, Ladin has a binary, egocentric, or speaker-oriented locative adverbial system, in which chiló < eccu illoc 'here' and dailó < (de) ad illoc 'there' (Kramer 1989: 112) indicate a location regarded as being inside and outside of the speaker's area 2 . Moreover, the Ladin spatial system has two diametrically opposed particles of direction: ia < via 'thither' and ca < eccu(m) hȃc 'hither' (Kramer 1989: 19), which typically express motion away from and towards the speaker on a level surface, or in a real or imaginary straight line (Irsara 2009(Irsara , 2010(Irsara , 2015. Furthermore, the system comprises an idiosyncratic set of adverbs that begin with ca < eccu(m) hȃc, cora 3 < eccu(m) illac, and la-< illac, which are combined with the dimensions 'thither ', 'up', 'down', 'inside', and 'outside', as shown in Table 1.…”

“…-The ca and cora adverbs can indicate discourse-new locations and be accompanied by pointing gestures. -The la adverbs only indicate hearer-old locations and are not used gesturally (Irsara 2009(Irsara , 2010(Irsara , 2015. Territorial features play a major role in the directional adverbial system of Ladin, in which precise paths can be tracked in a distinctive way by combining a series of locative particles, whose syntactic position is also significant.…”

This article shows how deixis and motion events prove to be ideal topics in the stimulation of reflection and enhancement of cross-linguistic awareness among South-Tyrolean speakers of Ladin, who learn English as a fourth language after Italian and German. The initial part of the article illustrates how a translation task that was focused on locative adverbials led students at upper-secondary school to recognise the extreme complexity of their own Ladin L1 adverbial system as compared to the more straightforward binary deictic system of English. The subsequent section shows how secondary-school and university students realised their difficulties in lexicalising motion events in English, arguably due to the different typological tendencies of other languages they learn or have learnt. The video clips that the study participants were asked to describe were subsequently integrated into multilingual and multimodal awareness-raising classes at primary school and in teacher education, where awareness-raising activities are fundamental.

Project VVV and the Issue of Revitalising Valoc’

This article provides an insight into the complex issue of producing the first edition of the dictionary of Valoc’ – a variety of Lombard spoken in Val Masino, lower Valtellina (northern Italy). This new lexicographic project was initiated in 2017 and is called Vocabolär del Valoc’ de la Val Mäśen – VVV [Vocabulary of Valoc’ of Val Masino]. Our research team works on the material of an unpublished dictionary based on interviews collected in the 1960s and 1970s. Our methodological approach is both that of dialectology and sociolinguistics as we complement our study with observations and interviews among Valoc’ speakers of different ages, genders and occupations, to see how it is still used today. Moreover, our approach allowed us to observe the process of the transmission of Valoc’ from one generation to another as well as some discourses among speakers on its uses. In conclusion, this contribution brings us to reflect on how the new “global” society may influence the process of transmission of this endangered language which needs to be revitalised. Interventions at primary and secondary school have been offered in order to introduce Valoc’ as a language of everyday communication and not only as the “dialect” of pupils’ grandparents. We examine the importance of developing a dictionary in order to promote a norm of reference in writing as a way to preserve Valoc’ for the future.

On Two Sub-projections of the Nominal Extended Projection: Some Romance Evidence

If cross-linguistic word order variation is a function of the movement of the head of each (sub)projection of an extended projection (in one of the possible ways movement can take place: with or without pied piping) there will be novel evidence for the correct constituencies of the clause and its major phrases. Here I will try to illustrate this by looking at two specific sub-projections of the nominal extended projection in a number of Romance languages: the sub-projection of locative adverbs and elevation and exteriority/interiority particles, and the sub-projection containing ‘other’, and ordinal and cardinal numerals.
