Il vocalismo leccese in due stili di parlato

"Leccese Vowelism in Two Speaking Styles" is a specialized book that analyzes the phenomena of vowel reduction in spontaneous Italian speech, particularly in the Leccese variant. The study employs both qualitative and quantitative methods to capture the differences between stressed and unstressed vowels. Special attention is given to structural and non-structural reduction, influenced by accent variables and the articulation in everyday conversation. The book thus provides valuable insights into the linguistic peculiarities and dynamics of the Leccese dialect and contributes to the scientific discussion on Italian phonetics and phonology. It is aimed at linguists, language scholars, and students interested in the nuances of the Italian language and its regional variations.
