In the context of his project on gender and number microvariation CRISSP postdoc Edoardo Cavirani is conducting fieldwork in the northern part of Italy. He’s looking for competent dialect speakers in the Lunigiana region. Two local newspapers, La Voce Apuana and Città di Sarzana, are helping him in this quest, by describing his research to their readership and inviting possible informants to contact Edoardo.
