Subjunctive/indicative alternation with verba putandi in spoken Italian
This article investigates the alternation between indicative and subjunctive moods in complement clauses introduced by verba putandi (e.g. ‘think’ or ‘believe’) in contemporary spoken Italian. Drawing on spontaneous conversations from the KIParla corpus, the study tests whether mood selection is governed by degrees of epistemic certainty, by extralinguistic factors, or by linguistic properties internal to the construction. Multivariate statistica…
Sociolinguistic variation, or lack thereof, in the use of the Italian subjunctive
This paper deals with various aspects of the use of the subjunctive in spoken Italian. Firstly, a brief overview is provided of the interplay of linguistic and extra-linguistic factors underlying the selection of the subjunctive in various syntactic structures. Special attention is paid to the differences in subjunctive use in factual and non-factual contexts, pointing out that the former are less studied and less affected by normative injunction…
Sociolinguistic variation in spoken Italian
Language varieties in Italo-RomanceIn Italo-Romance, as well as in most European scenarios, the current language space between base dialects and standard results from a previous situation of 'spoken diglossia' (cf.Auer 2005).In fact, until at least the second half of the nineteenth century, Italian was used by a small minority of the population and almost exclusively in writing and formal speech; the vast majority of the population was composed o…
The development of locative relative markers
The accessibility hierarchy was first proposed by Keenan & Comrie (1977) to describe the cross-linguistic distribution of relative markers in terms of likelihood of relativization of different syntactic roles. The hierarchy is also commonly believed to reflect constraints on possible changes in the domain of relativization. For example, the hierarchy predicts that locative relatives that develop into general relativizers should expand their funct…
