Grammar of Central Trentino: A Romance Dialect from North-East Italy

Central Trentino is a Romance dialect spoken in the North-East of Italy, which shows features belonging to both Gallo-Italic and Venetan dialects. Grammar of Central Trentino aims to present the first comprehensive grammatical description of this dialect, taking into consideration its morpho-syntactic properties and pragmatic phenomena.

The book’s general approach is synchronic and focused on the language currently in use. The authors discuss a wide range of examples gathered from both oral and written sources.

The theoretical reference model is that of generative grammar, but the description of the phenomena is also accessible to a non-specialized audience.
