Progetto Dizionario Italiano-Svedese : Atti del Primo Colloquio,Stoccolma 10-12 febbraio 2005

• How much vocabulary does a second language learner need? How many words do native speakers know? How many words are needed to do the things that a language user needs to do? And – the question that justifies the text of this presentation – What is a dictionary? Che cos’è un vocabolario?, to echo the title used by Bruno Migliorini in 1951, and which is one of the main questions of the 1st Colloquium on the ”Progetto dizionario italiano-svedese”, held at Stockholm University on February 10-12, 2005. The colloquium was sponsored by the Henrik Granholm Foundation and by the Italian Foreign Ministry through the Italian Institute of Culture in Stockholm, and we are deeply grateful for their support. The opening ceremony was presided over by the Vice Chancellor of our University, the Rettore Magnifico Kåre Bremer, the Italian Ambassador Giulio Vinci Gigliucci and the Director of the Italian Institute, Cultural Counsellor Giuseppe Manica. The program included the main themes we outlined for this colloquium issues concerning vocabularies, dictionaries and the acquisition of Italian as an L2. We thank our speakers for providing us with their texts, which have been published in a two-fold format, as a printed version and on the web-site of the project: www.fraita.su.se/lexikonprojektet.
