The present project is part of a long-time research programme aiming at analysing the diachronic evolution of Italo-Romance vernaculars in the last century. The general objective of the programme is to compare the material contained in the Sprach- und Sachatlas Italiens und der Südschweiz (AIS), providing a fine picture of 407 vernaculars as spoken between 1919 and 1928, with data on present-day dialects collected in the same locations. Having a detailed description of the dialects at some one hundred years’ distance, we intend to compare the two chronological stages with a mixed methodology including both qualitative and quantitative techniques supported by state-of-the-art digital facilities such as information retrieval systems searching for linguistic information, audio/video streaming, and a Geographical Information System (GIS), which incorporates not only the representation but also the analysis of geographic linguistic data.The present grant proposal aims to cast the basis of the whole programme. In particular, it aims to 1) digitalize part of the 1920s AIS (around 50%); 2) carry out new fieldwork in Switzerland (Ticino and Grisons); 3) build a database, a search engine and a GIS interface (Graphic Information System) in order to manage, retrieve and present the data; 4) develop new lines of research on four main topics: the syntax of subject pronouns, the analysis of palatal obstruents, the make-up of verb paradigms, and the rate of lexical decay.
