VVV
It is a “lexicographic project was initiated in 2017 and is called Vocabolär del Valoc’ de la Val Mäśen – VVV [Vocabulary of Valoc’ of Val Masino]. Our research team works on the material of an unpublished dictionary based on interviews collected in the 1960s and 1970s. Our methodological approach is both that of dialectology and sociolinguistics as we complement our study with observations and interviews among Valoc’ speakers of different ages, genders and occupations, to see how it is still used today. Moreover, our approach allowed us to observe the process of the transmission of Valoc’ from one generation to another as well as some discourses among speakers on its uses“. (Original text)
