Item description from seller

Large 8vo. viii + 238 + (1)pp. With 6 maps, and 1 vocabulary table. Publisher's cloth within wrappers. The Tuscan accent characterized as the gorgia toscana (aspirates and elisions peculiar to the dialect) was long thought by Romance linguists to have developed from ancient Etruscan; the author puts forward his thesis that it has been a natural development in common with other western Romance languages. The first long chapter (77pp) is a history of the debate from Dante; the author then describes his own findings through interviews, history and research. Substantial notes (pp177-213), and bibliography (pp214-230).
