Nel presente volume vengono presentati studi linguistici, filologici, letterari e culturali concernenti la lingua sarda e le sue varietà. Tutti gli studi in questo volume illustrano l''uso e la funzione del sardo in una situazione dinamica di plurilinguismo. Nella prima parte sono trattate questioni linguistiche, relative a problemi di sociolinguistica storica, di fonologia, di morfologia, di sintassi e del lessico. La seconda parte è dedicata al plurilinguismo nella letteratura e cinematografia sarda. A partire dai primi timidi tentativi (già in Grazia Deledda) il plurilinguismo si fa sempre più visibile, visto anche che la cinematografia e la narrativa si indirizzano oramai a un pubblico internazionale.Der vorliegende Band enthält sprachwissenschaftliche, philologische und kulturwissenschaftliche Studien zum Sardischen und seinen Varietäten. Alle Beiträge dieses Bandes bieten Eindrücke in die Verwendung und Funktion des Sardischen in einer dynamischen Situation der Mehrsprachigkeit. Der erste, sprachwissenschaftlich ausgerichtete Teil diskutiert unter Zuhilfenahme verschiedenster Ansätze Fragen der historischen Soziolinguistik, der sardischen Phonologie, Morphologie, Syntax, Semantik und Manuskript-Edition. Der zweite Teil legt seinen Schwerpunkt auf die Mehrsprachigkeit im sardischen Roman und Theater sowie im Film. Nach zaghaften Anfangsversuchen (schon bei Grazia Deledda) hat die Mehrsprachigkeit an Sichtbarkeit gewonnen, umso mehr, als das aktuelle sardische Erzähl-Kino und die sardischen Romane nun ein internationales Publikum ansprechen.The present volume contains linguistic, philological and cultural studies concerning Sardinian and its varieties. All studies in this volume offer precious insights in the use and function of Sardinian in a dynamic situation of multilingualism. The first part focusses on linguistics and discusses, under various approaches, issues regarding historical sociolinguistics, Sardinian phonology, morphology, syntax and semantics as well as the edition of a manuscript. The second part concentrates on plurilinguism in the Sardinian novel and theatre as well as in the Sardinian film. After its first tentative beginnings (already present in Grazia Deledda) plurilinguism, in a context of international success of Sardinian novels and cinema, becomes more and more visible.

This ground-breaking volume presents a collection of the most important charter materials of medieval Sardinia from the eleventh to the fifteenth centuries. Composed in Sardinian, they include the earliest administrative–legal documents from a European chancery to be written in vernacular and not in Latin or Greek.New readings from the primary sources are here translated into English for the first time, and they are accompanied by a Sardinian–English glossary of terms, opening up the politics, society, culture, and language of an island at the centre of the medieval Mediterranean to a wide range of historians.
