Lingua illustre e lingua comune nella predicazione in volgare tra Medioevo e età moderna

• The contrast between a formal and an everyday language in vernacular preaching can take diverse forms. The first aspect is the relationship between Latin and vernacular: manifested either as a distinct option in favour of one of the two languages, or as the use of Latin words or phrases within a vernacular text. In the latter case the amount and function of the Latin may vary. The second aspect of the problem is the choice between literary Italian, the local vernacular or an intermediate variety. The third is the variation between a higher and a lower register within the Italian language.
