Subject: Italian dialects
A colleague of mine, Robert DiPietro, asked that I send in these
comments on the recent discussion of Italian dialects by Joe Giampapa.
Di Pietro says:
The anecdote about Italian dialect usage reflects the cathexis that is
still associated with home dialects in Italy. As Freud pointed out,
words learned in childhood are likely to be vested with more emotion
than words learned later in school or in one's professional life.
Italians still swear more rewardingly in dialect than they do in
standard Italian. In fact, Americans born of Italian extracion are
likely to retain cuss words and onscenities in their family's Italian
dialect long after they have forgotten how to say anything else in the
dialect. The likely reason that the American received ridicule about
sounding like a Bergamasco is because Italians are fond of looking
askance at dialects that are not their own. Big-city dialects,
especially in the northern cities (e.g., Milano), are more prestigious
than those from smaller cities. Besides, Milanese has a tradition of
literature written in its dialect that is quite impressive. The
struggle over what dialects would form the basis for the standard
Italian language is so well documented that it has its own title: 'la
questione della lingua' and it goes all the way back to the times of
Dante.
