The main topics represented in the collection include: Morphosyntax, including comparative approaches; Phonetics and Phonology; Lexicology; Semantics; Sociolinguistics; Historical Linguistics, with special attention to the transition from Latin to the Romance languages; Typological and Contrastive Linguistics; Neurolinguistics; Experimental and Theoretical Linguistics in both Romance and general linguistic fields; and Italian Linguistics, with particular emphasis on the history of the language, dialectology, and early texts, supported by appropriate lexicographical resources.
