Діалектні картини Італії та України: спроби порівняння

Classifications of Italian and Ukrainian dialects are rather numerous in the respective dialectal / linguistic traditions. Yet Ukrainian outlines of Italian dialects are both limited in number and tendentially inexact. At the same time Italian descriptions of Ukrainian dialects, with very few exceptions, are basically inexistent in Italy. For this reason in this paper we made an attempt at presenting a first comparative taxonomy of both Italian and Ukrainian dialects, e. g. basic classification and subdivision criteria. The underlying aim of this contribution intends to increase the further development of Italian-Ukrainian and, more at large, Romance-Slavic comparative dialectal studies.
