The L’Arghja Media Library is hosting Francescu Maria Luneschi, a senior lecturer in linguistics, for a talk on the Corsican language and traditional place-names on Thursday 26 November at 6.00 pm.
Why do certain places have these names? How does vocabulary vary from one region to another? What do words reveal about the history of Corsica and Alta Rocca?
Drawing on linguistic research and dialect surveys carried out in the field, this event aims to trace the origins of words, understand how they have evolved, and examine their local characteristics.
An invitation to take a fresh look at the landscapes and places of Corsica, through the words used to describe them and the stories they convey.
