This Italian reference grammar provides students, teachers and
others interested in the Italian language with a comprehensive,
accessible and jargon-free guide to the forms and structure of
Italian. Whatever their level of knowledge of the language,
learners of Italian will find this book indispensable: it gives
clear and detailed explanations of everything from the most
elementary facts such as the relation between spelling and
pronunciation, or the forms of the article, to more advanced points
such as the various nuances of the subjunctive. Formal or archaic
discourse is distinguished from informal, everyday usage, and
regionalisms are also indicated where appropriate. The authors have
taken care to make it an easy and illuminating reference tool:
extensive cross-referencing enables readers to quickly find the
information they require, and also stimulates them to discover new,
related facts.

The twelfth conference of the European Federation of the National
Institutions of Language (EFNIL) at the Accademia della Crusca
dealt with the increasing tendency to use English as the language
of academic instruction and research in Europe. This development
can be seen as progress in international scientific communication
at the cost of all languages other than English. The volume
presents general reflections, reports and discussions on the
linguistic situation at the universities of various European
countries, some with a historical perspective. As a conclusion it
offers a "Resolution of Florence concerning Language Use in
University Teaching and Research" in the 26 official languages of
most member states of the European Union and other European
countries.
