From October 15th to 21st, 2018, the 18th edition of the Italian Language Week in the world was held. This year’s theme was “L’Italiano e la rete, le reti per l’Italiano” (The Italian and the network, the networks for the Italian), in which reflection was made on the influence that the advent of the web and new digital technologies have had, both on our language and on the modalities of communication, deepening the links and the influences between the Italian language, the world of the internet, the new technologies of information and social communication, including social platforms. The project puts the importance of words at the center, through a path that starts from its scope. The initiative was curated by the European Institute of Design (IED).
As every year, the “Accademia della Crusca” in collaboration with the “goWare” publishing caompany, has created a volume, curated by Giuseppe Patota and Fabio Rossi, dedicated to the theme of the Italian Language Week. (click here for more information)
