“…I progetti in questione sono rivolti allo studio di queste varietà germaniche minoritarie utilizzando una piattaforma digitale progettata e sviluppata appositamente, che permette la catalogazione e la lemmatizzazione dei materiali linguistici (soprattutto testi) raccolti con indagini sul campo (cf. Gaeta et al 2022). Nella piattaforma per ogni singola voce sono collegati diversi livelli e strumenti indipendenti, che consentono la lemmatizzazione e l'interrogazione dei testi presenti nel corpus.…”

“…Per il titsch di Gressoney sono stati digitalizzati 659 testi: un totale di oltre quindicimila lemmi, i quali, nonostante facciano parte di una ristretta gamma di generi testuali (materiale didattico, resoconti ecclesiastici o sezioni di riviste delle comunità walser, poesie, traduzioni di fiabe e racconti per bambini, trascrizioni di dialoghi e interviste), abbracciano un periodo di oltre 150 anni, fornendo in questo modo anche un quadro diacronico della produzione testuale walser (cf. Gaeta et al 2022).…”

This contribution aims at illustrating the history of the Walser community of Gressoney (Aosta, Italy), where a language belonging to the dialectal space of the Highest Alemannic is still spoken today. The Titsch language, unfortunately, is not only undergoing the influence of the surrounding Romance languages, but its speakers are also disappearing, and a generational change is currently lacking. Secondly, a first scientific description of the phonetic and phonological system of this variety is provided, as well as some peculiar morphosyntactic and lexical characteristics. Finally, some of the most important projects that the scientific community is carrying out for the preservation and valorization of the Titsch language are described.

This chapter investigates non-standard languages, i.e., those which are dialectal, non-standardised – or standardised to a very limited extent, represented by the local linguistic varieties that populate the Italian Western Alps. Despite the fact that these have almost exclusively existed as spoken languages throughout their history, our particular aim is to discuss methods and problems raised by the investigation of written corpora of these varieties from a corpus linguistics perspective. This is especially challenging because corpus linguistics usually employs methods and standards elaborated for standard(ised) written varieties. Focusing the Occitan and Francoprovençal varieties, it is shown that the different historical backgrounds of the two languages also have an impact on their speakers’ attitude towards standardisation and on how texts are produced and accordingly made accessible for corpus linguistics methods.
