Analysis of the Causes and Characteristics of the New Standard Italian
Abstract
Italy has produced a new standard Italian, distinct from the traditional grammar, since the 1980s. The domain gradually extends from the spoken style to the semi formal and formal written style. The reasons for the emergence and development of the new standard Italian can be analyzed from three aspects: the internal driving force and flexibility of the language itself are the internal reasons for the emergence of the new standard Italian; The special historical, political and cultural background of postwar Italy became the external factor to promote its development; The oral features of ancient Italian, which were excluded from the standard language in the early stage, are the foundation of the new standard Italian. The main features of the new standard Italian can be analyzed from four aspects: pronunciation, vocabulary, syntax and morphology to explore its formation causes and specific manifestations in order to grasp the latest developments in Italian language and carry out domestic Italian language teaching work.
