The Italian
vocabulary of Germanic Philology
Investigation of the technical terminology
occurring in Italian works of Germanic philology and linguistics, having
both a descriptive and a normative purpose. For each term considered (in all
its attested variants) an essential definition will be given; where two or
more variants occur for the same term, the degree of formal correctness of
each variant will be assessed; finally, the historical and scientific
reasons for the use of competing variants will be examined. The collected
data will be organized into lexical items and published in the form of a
dictionary.
