15.01.2022 Italy has a long and fascinating history that has been recorded since the earliest days of Rome itself: we know how politics, ideas, culture, art, architecture, music and much more have developed over nearly three millennia. At the heart of the life of the peoples of the Italian peninsula and islands is their language. ‘A Linguistic History of Italy’ tells the story of how the language spoken in Italy developed from Latin to multiple dialects, to the selection of Florentine for a national written language and how Italian became the common language of the entire nation. At each step on this amazing journey, language intertwines with other components of Italian social life. Download now for free doi.org/10.22459/LHI.2019
