AN OUTLINE OF THE ITALIAN DIALECTS
Pavao Tekavčić

Sažetak
In spite of a rich dialectological tradition in Italy, it is only in the monograph series under the above title that the great riches of the Italian dialects have been described in an up to date manner, accompanied by authentic phonograph recordings. The volumes of this series have been appearing since 1974 in Pisa, edited by M. Cortelazzo in association with a number of experts (including foreign ones: H.Lüdtke). Our review covers the volumes that appeared before the end of 1980, i.e.: the general survey of methodology and of the Italian dialects (Vol. 0), Piedmont (1), Venetian (5), Tuscan (9), Lunigiana (9/1), Abruzzi
(13), Apulia and Salento (15-16), Lucania (Basilicata) (17), Calabria (18), Corsica (21), and the Judeo-Italian dialect (23). The criterion for inclusion is not political but rather linguistic affiliation, since Corsica is treated, but nevertheless the survey of Venetian omits Trieste. The presentation of material is not unified: Vol. 13, e.g., devotes much attention to historical development and some other questions; Vol. 17 studies phenomena in development (which exist everywhere, so all the authors should at least have touched on them); some volumes (5, 9, 9/1) first give areal divisions; others do not, etc. Nor is the information about informants unified, nor about the system for transcribing the recorded texts, nor do the transcribed texts always correspond completely to the recordings. The authors deal with sociolinguistic factors, as is to be expected in Italy, but here too not all to the same extent. Volume Zero (G. B. Pellegrini, Carta dei dialetti d'Italia, 1977) gives general principles, and treats the so-called five Italo-Romance systems, but also includes Romansh in his survey (which can in no way be included in the Italian dialects). In his view of the Istroromance or Istriot local dialects he does not depart from the traditional Italian position, which regards them as an archaic Venetian dialect. Some volumes (e.g. 13) contain a considerable number of questionable and even untenable formulations.
Despite these shortcomings, which ultimately can easily be corrected, the series 'Profilo dei dialetti italiani' is a first-class scholarly and educational tool, which can serve as a model in many ways. It is to be hoped that the remaining planned volumes will appear as soon as possible.
