Title

Structuring Variation in Romance Linguistics and Beyond: In honour of Leonardo M. Savoia

Edited by Mirko Grimaldi, Rosangela Lai, Ludovico Franco and Benedetta Baldi

Current theoretical approaches to language devote great attention to macro- and micro-variation and show an ever-increasing interest in minority languages. In this respect, few empirical domains are as rich and lively as the Italo-Romance languages, which together with Albanian were the main… read more

Grimaldi, Mirko 2018 Chapter 24. Dialects and neuroscience: A first critical review Structuring Variation in Romance Linguistics and Beyond: In honour of Leonardo M. Savoia, Grimaldi, Mirko, Rosangela Lai, Ludovico Franco and Benedetta Baldi (eds.), pp. 351–364 | Chapter

Dialectal variation has been constanly at the core of linguistic investigation. On the base of the few neurophysiological studies that explored dialectal data, this article examines if and how dialectal variation may contribute to the advancing of the neurobiology of language. Evidence suggest that… read more

Grimaldi, Mirko, Anna Dora Manca, Francesco Sigona and Francesco Di Russo 2016 Electroencephalographic evidence of vowels computation and representation in human auditory cortex Biolinguistic Investigations on the Language Faculty, Di Sciullo, Anna Maria (ed.), pp. 79–100 | Article

By exploiting the N1 component of the auditory event related potentials we aimed to measure and localize the processing involving the spectro-temporal and the abstract featural representation. We investigated the electroencephalography patterns of 11 Salento Italian speakers discriminating their… read more

Grimaldi, Mirko 2009 Acoustic correlates of phonological microvariations: The case of unsuspected micro-parametric metaphonetic processes in a small area of Southern Salento (Apulia) Romance Languages and Linguistic Theory 2006: Selected papers from ‘Going Romance’, Amsterdam, 7–9 December 2006, Torck, Danièle and W. Leo Wetzels (eds.), pp. 89–110 | Article

Recent field researches in a small area of Southern Salento by means of an appropriate questionnaire, acoustic analysis and statistic treatment of the data have pointed out the existence of micro-parametric metaphonetic processes never noticed before. These processes cause the raising of the… read more
