Deculturization and Social Degradation of the Linguistic Minorities in Italy

Grassi, Corrado

Linguistics, 191, 45-54, May 24 77

After a definition of terms, a dialectological and sociolinguistic review of linguistic minorities existing in Italy is made. Geographic aspects of distribution and retrogression of regional speech and use of Italian by minorities form the basis for differentiating degrees of deculturization. The role of linguistic and other minorities is studied. (AMH)
