Dictionary of the Regional Italian of Terra di Bari
The project proposes an analysis of the regional Italian spoken in the Terra di Bari, an important quadrilateral area in central Apulia, bordered to the north by Capitanata and to the south by Terra d'Otranto. The research will lead to the creation of a true Dictionary of the regional Italian of the Terra di Bari. The focus will be on studying this linguistic variety from a specifically lexical perspective.
