Abstract
Abstract This paper intends to present the first results of the project Mappatura dell’Italo-Romanzo Antico (MIRA) funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) for the period 2022–2026. The project’s main goal is the mapping of the linguistic situation of Italy before the year 1400. We illustrate one type of linguistic map, the one concerned with single linguistic features (such as the reflexes of Latin vowels, consonants, consonant clusters, etc.), using the outcomes of Latin ‑gn‑. We show how the geographic distribution of the various reflexes can be displayed graphically and how the data from our principal source, the Atlante Grammaticale della Lingua Italiana delle Origini (AGLIO) can be integrated with the scrutiny of other texts and with secondary bibliography. Furthermore, we discuss critical points regarding the balance of our corpus – in a diachronic, diatopic and diastratic/diaphasic perspective – and the expediency of different solutions for the visualization of our findings.
