Abstract:

Il volume “Grammatica delle Lingue Sabelliche dell’Italia Antica”, scritto a
quattro mani da Alessandra Petrocchi e Rex Wallace, intende presentarsi come
un’edizione italiana ed in parte rivisitata della grammatica delle lingue
sabelliche pubblicata da Rex Wallace in inglese nel 2007 (Lincom Europa). Il
presente manuale offre una prospettiva sulla grammatica delle lingue
sabelliche parlate nell’Italia mediana antica e preromana; queste
rappresentano un sottogruppo del gruppo delle lingue italiche appartenenti
alla famiglia indoeuropea. Mantenendo lo stile conciso ma esauriente del
precedente lavoro, questa edizione rivisitata si propone come una guida
introduttiva per coloro che intendono approcciarsi alle lingue sabelliche. Il
volume consiste in otto capitoli che spaziano dalla fonologia, morfologia e
sintassi al lessico e all’esame delle iscrizioni sabelliche. Rispetto al
volume in inglese, permane qui una simile impostazione metodologica e
teoretica; si sono ampliate alcune sezioni e rianalizzato parte del materiale.
Per esporre una prospettiva più estesa, si è inoltre dato spazio ad aspetti di
linguistica indoeuropea; si è anche aggiunta una breve appendice che propone
spunti di riflessione sulla teoria italo-celtica. La bibliografia finale offre
una selezione degli studi pubblicati ampia ed aggiornata. Gli autori si
augurano che questa edizione italiana allargata e rivisitata possa fornire
delle basi solide per tutti coloro che intendono approfondire lo studio delle
lingue sabelliche.

The volume “Grammatica delle Lingue Sabelliche dell’Italia Antica”,
co-authored by Alessandra Petrocchi and Rex Wallace, is a revised, updated
Italian edition of Prof. Wallace’s successful English publication “The
Sabellic Languages of Ancient Italy” (Lincom Europa, 2007). The textbook gives
insight into the grammatical structure of the Sabellic languages ‒ a subgroup
of the Italic branch of the Indo-European language family ‒ which were spoken
in Pre-Roman Italy before Latin replaced them. The Italian volume consists of
eight chapters, which cover various topics including the alphabets, phonology,
morphology, syntax, nomenclature, lexicon, and a study of Sabellic
inscriptions. Most of the chapters have been updated and expanded to
incorporate supplementary matters; the grammatical sections have been fully
revised to bring the subject matter up to date with recent publications.
Unlike the English volume, the Italian edition contains footnotes to provide
additional information. It also includes an appendix on the Italo-Celtic
hypothesis and a full, extensive updated bibliography – which gives both
in-text references and references to publications on Sabellic languages and
the Italic group. In presenting this introductory grammar, the authors have
tried to maintain a concise but comprehensive style while providing a solid
grounding in the study of the Sabellic languages. Expanding upon the volume by
Wallace, this new Italian edition is intended as a reference grammar for
students and scholars of Classics and Historical Linguistics. It is hoped that
students will find this volume a much-needed foundation for more advanced work
in the grammar of Sabellian languages.
