内容简介

On the occasion of the 700th anniversary of Dante’s death, the greatest Italian poet (1265-1321), it is an honor to present and discuss at the Museum of World Languages of SISU in Songjiang some original linguistic reflections that are present in De vulgari eloquentia (Eloquence in the vernacular) written by Dante in Latin and addressed to scholars. Dante intends to examine the doctrine of eloquence in the vernacular, because this eloquence is necessary indiscriminately to all people. The investigation moves from the origin of the common language given by the Lord to Adam and therefore to humanity before the tragic episode of the tower of Babel narrated in the Bible, the cause of the confusion of languages. According to Dante European languages come from the East. On the basis of his knowledge Dante identifies the major language groups in Europe. The investigation therefore focuses on the vernaculars in the Italian territory to find a common, cultured vernacular. In De vulgari eloquentia and especially in Convivio (Banquet) Dante clarifies the expressive potential of the vernacular.
