Handbook of friulian linguistics

This is the first manual of Friulian language suitable to high dissemination. Written in English, the book brings together a number of scientific contributions of the leading specialists who analyze the various aspects of the Friulian language. The Manual represents a comprehensive study in line with contemporary linguistic and neurolinguistic research and its publication fills a gap particularly felt by scholars interested in the more modern sectors of Friulian language. It contains contributions by Paola Benincà, Elena Collavin, Cristiano Crescentini, Franco Fabbro, Franco Finco, Giovanni Frau, Carla Marcato, Alessandro Tavano, Laura Vanelli and Federico Vicario.
