The contributions cover various areas of linguistics (phonology, morphology, syntax) and are organized in sections according to the customary geolinguistic classification. Each chapter provides the description of a salient phenomenon for a given language, based on novel data, as well as the state-of-the-art knowledge on that phenomenon. The articles are in-depth studies carried out by prominent experts as well as promising young scholars. The theoretical apparatus is kept to a minimum in order to make the book accessible to scholars without specific expertise. For the same reason, hypotheses and formalisms are introduced gradually, only if necessary for the description of the data.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface List of Figures, Maps and Tables  Introduction  Northern Varieties  1 The Distribution of Gender and Number in Lunigiana Nominal Expressions  Edoardo Cavirani  2 On the Interpretation of an Interrogative Form in North-Eastern Italian Dialects  Patrizia Cordin  3 Verb-Second and (Micro)Variation in Two Rhaeto-Romance Varieties of Northern Italy  Jan Casalicchio and Federica Cognola  Central Varieties  4 On the Palatalization of \/s\/ + Consonant in Some Dialects of Middle and Southern Italy  Luca Lorenzetti  5 On the Gender System of Viterbese  Michele Loporcaro  6 Indefinite Determiners.
