Working Papers

Il Dipartimento ha due serie di Working Papers, cioè pubblicazioni in cui compaiono materiali di ricerca non ancora pubblicati altrove, in alcuni casi ancora in fase di formulazione definitiva:

• University of Venice Working Papers in Linguistics
• Working papers in glottodidattica

 University of Venice Working Papers in Linguistics

The Department of Language Sciences since 1991 has published a series of Working Papers "University of Venice Working Papers in Linguistics", which from 2001 have appeared once a year in a single volume downloadable freely from this page, or from LEAR, our Linguistic Electronic Archive. The latter contains the scientific production of the department.

The Working Papers aim at rendering the publications of the faculty, students, and guests of the department accessible to a wider public.

The volumes are not for sale, but can be exchanged with other working papers or publications by contacting Giovanna De Benedet (mail to: benedet@unive.it).
