Abstract: HELLO CAMPANIA studies heritage languages spoken by immigrant communities in Campania. The project aims to (1) provide the first sociolinguistic study of heritage languages in the region, (2) analyze multilingual practices and the strategic use of Italian, local dialects, and heritage languages, and (3) offer the first qualitative and quantitative description of a heritage language in Italy, focusing on Filipino in Campania. Using a bottom-up approach, it combines sociolinguistics, language acquisition, and language contact studies to fill the current gap in knowledge on immigrant languages in the region.

Abstract: The focus of the project is the Dictionarium sinico-latinum (Chinese-Latin dictionary) by the Franciscan missionary Basilio Brollo (1648–1704); for a long time, only manuscript copies circulated, which were highly praised as an essential instrument for the study of Chinese. The role of the dictionary was deemed so important that projects to publish it were conceived but, after these plans failed, it was plagiarised in a revised form. The Dictionarium sinico-latinum, based on the research methods of missionary linguistics, is a lexicographical milestone with a fundamental value from a variety of perspectives. The most important aspect is that it is an unlimited source of linguistic information and an essential instrument for the interpretation of the Chinese lexicon and its periodisation.
The objectives of the project include: 1. creating a digitalised, searchable, and open-access version of the dictionary; 2. analysing its linguistic features; 3. defining the influence it had on later lexicographical production.
