“…They have maintained their Francoprovençal language, Faetar: virtually everyone living in Faeto and Celle speaks this variety on a daily basis. Since at least the 1970s, however, all but the oldest are bilingual in Italian, though not necessarily a standard variety (Ercolino 1989;Kattenbusch 1979: 145;Perta 2010;Valente 1973: 39). Women, in particular, have been leaving the villages to avoid marrying into the farming lifestyle, leaving behind a large group of unmarried men and older couples, and few children (less than 20 in the Faeto grammar school).…”

I examine patterns of lexical variation in the homeland varieties of Faetar and Cellese, endangered Francoprovençal dialects spoken in two villages in southern Italy, and in Toronto, one of their largestémigré communities. While lexical change due to borrowing has been in progress for some time in Faetar and Cellese, cross-generational and diatopic comparisons within a sample of 80 speakers surprisingly indicate that the lexicon is currently quite stable. The lack of systematic patterns of differentiation across age, sex, social class, and regional groups indicates that diachronic lexical variation may not be reflected synchronically in the same ways as the structural variables that form the majority of quantitative sociolinguistic investigation. This suggests the need for further comparisons across types of variables, while maintaining consistent methods of data collection, analysis, and interpretation.Esamino gli schemi di variazione del lessico nella varietà di faetar e cellese, dialetti francoprovenzali in via di estinzione parlati in due paesi dell'Italia meridionale e a Toronto, dove risiede una delle più grande comunità emigrate. Se da un lato, vi sono stati per un po' di tempo mutamenti lessicali dovuti ai prestiti, dall'altro, i confronti inter-generazionali e diatopici in un campione di 80 locutori suggeriscono che il lessico del faetanoè attualmente abbastanza stabile. La mancanza di modelli sistematici di differenziazione attraverso l'età, il sesso, la classe sociale ed i gruppi regionali indicano che la variazione del lessico diacronica non possa essere riflessa in sincronismo negli stessi sensi delle variabili strutturali che formano la maggior parte di ricerca sociolinguistica quantitativa. Suggerisco l'esigenza di ulteriori confronti attraverso i tipi di variabili, coi metodi costanti di raccolta di dati, di analisi e di interpretazione.

“…Second, speakers change across their lifespan. As a relevant case in point, comparison of the reports of minority language usage across age groups reported by Kattenbusch (1979: 145), Nagy (1996: 84) and Perta (2010: 216) suggests that the children and teens who did not actively use Faetar in one study grew into the fluent adult speakers found in the next study. (Given the small population of Faeto, <800, <100 children and adolescents, many of the same people must have been sampled in the different studies.)…”

Sociolinguistic Aspects and Language Contact: Evidence from Francoprovençal of Apulia

The aim of this paper is to investigate two Francoprovençal speaking communities in the Italian region of Apulia, Faeto and Celle di St. Vito. Despite the regional neighborhood of the two towns, and their common isolation from other Francoprovençal speaking communities, their sociolinguistic conditions are deeply different. They differ in reference to the functional distribution of the languages of the repertoire and speakers’ language uses, and in reference to the degree of ‘permeability’ of Francoprovençal varieties towards Italian and its dialects. The repertoire composition and the relationship between the codes have a key role both for minority language maintenance and for language contact processes. In this perspective, I analyse some language contact phenomena in a sample of speakers discourse. I report correlations between the choice of different code-mixing strategies and three sociolinguistic variables (age, sex and village), but not with occupation.
