Giacomo Devoto, Gian Carlo Oli, Luca Serianni, Maurizio Trifone Nuovo Devoto-Oli Vocabolario dell’italiano contemporaneo Le Monnier
Acclaimed dictionary of the Italian language, distinguished by its wealth of definitions and focus on phraseology and language registers. The ample space given to neologisms reveals an emphasis on the language as a “living system that is continuously updated and kept young by its users”.
In this New Devoto-Oli, entirely revised after 50 years from the first edition, all entries have been methodically recalibrated in their definitions and in their grammar, register, and usage distinctions.
