Abstract:

Rhaeto-Cisalpine (or Padanese) is a western Romance language, spoken in thePo valley (extended to include the Ligurian coast), which has developed inan independent fashion from Italian and is strictly related to French,Occitan, and Catalan. This subject has been relatively neglected in recentyears, apart from a monumental work by Geoffrey Hull, dating back to 1982.

This book aims at both offering a solid reference about, and at proposing acomplete synthesis of this diasystem, including the Rhaeto-Romancelanguages and the so called Gallo-Italic ones, sometimes mistaken forItalian dialects, a conclusion probably driven by unscientific criteriainherited by the 'Italian Risorgimento' political bias.

In the formation of a general Rhaeto-Cisalpine koiné the following criteriahave systematically been adopted: getting close to medieval forms, purgingthe language from Italian influence, adopting Galloroman models as decisivecontributions, accepting widespread forms and generalising local ones.

In particular Ladin forms (both Rhaetian and Dolomitic) have been deemedcentral, thus synthetic Padanese has been modelled mainly upon these ones.

The author is the founder of the "Institud de studis Rhaeto-Cisalpins"
