Europe and the Mediterranean as Linguistic Areas: Convergencies from a historical and typological perspective
This volume is a collection of 12 papers which originated from a research project on ‘Europe and the Mediterranean from a linguistic point of view: history and prospects’. The papers deal with specific morphosyntactic aspects of language structure and evolution. The comparative perspective is adopted both from a synchronic (typological) and a diachronic (historical) angle, focusing in particular on possible contact phenomena. Therefore, methodolo…
A handbook of historical linguistics

Discussion paper on Gilbert Lazard's “On the status of linguistics with particular regard to typology”
This paper deals with the concept of internal versus external explanation in linguistics and the difficulty of drawing a clear-cut dividing line. Crosslinguistic comparison helps us to understand what may be considered as strictly pertaining to the linguistic dimension or to a larger cognitive frame. Linguistic categories are then discussed in this frame of reference and a scheme is proposed where the notion of “category” does not apply to concep…
Linguistic categories and linguists categorizations
The article deals with the notion of category and the linguists operations for delimiting linguistic categories. A threefold organization is suggested that subdivides categories into features and features into values. Every word of a natural language can be categorically described via a matrix of values that represent the implementation of features that, in their turn, are categorial properties. Since there exist many nonclearcut cases, that is, …

Friedrich Engels Zwischen Anthropologie und Sprachwissenschaft
The author aims to show that Friedrich Engels' linguistic researches, especially in his Der fränkische Dialekt, are to be considered within the same theoretical framework of historic materialism which underlies his more comprehensive studies on the history of primitive peoples, such as the ancient Germanic or Celtic tribes. The main difference, however, between Engels' so-cio-anthropological and his linguistic studies is that for the latter he di…

Dieci anni di linguistica italiana (1965-1975)
Linguistic Reconstruction and Indo-European Syntax: Proceedings of the Colloquium of the 'Indogermanische Gesellschaft'. University of Pavia, 6–7 September 1979
The aim of the colloquium, from which this volume derives, was to bring together approaches from general linguistics and language reconstruction, to show how these can benefit from eachother. Although the focus was on Indo-European languages, other language families were present in the discussion, as typological insights may provide useful parallels to IE phenomena and problems. At the core of the discussion was the methodological problem of indu…

Giacomo Devoto 1898-1974: The man and his work
The paper essays to give a brief survey of the imposing and complex work of Giacomo Devoto (1897-1974), with particular emphasis on its principal traits seen both from the point of view of the history of linguistics and its scientific significance. Especial attention is drawn first of all to Devoto's position vis-à-vis Benedetto Croce's Idealism and the linguistic positivism of the first half of the 20th century. It seems possible to define Devot…
