Description

Excerpt from The Dialects of Central Italy The purpose of this study is not a minute examination of all the dialects in the territory indicated. If such were the case the work, instead of being in one small volume, would cover many and instead of being published after a few years of investigation, it would require a lifetime for its comple tion. The writer will be content if he succeeds in giving the reader a general idea of the dialectic peculiarities to be found in Central Italy and if with the information herein contained, the reader may be enabled to identify a given text or a given pronunciation as coming from a certain province. For this purpose a treatment of phonological phenomena is sufficient and the writer does not attempt to deal with dialectic vocabularies which would necessarily be incomplete and um satisfactory. It would indeed be unwise fox: a foreigner to attempt such a task. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
