The subject of this contribution is the minority of Guardia Piemontese, the Occitan island in Calabria. In particular, a collection of texts belonging to the ‘Guardiola’ popular tradition will be presented. It is a corpus curated by Arturo Genre, with the primary purpose of providing a precious mean for retrieving ‘Guardiola’ historical memory, as well as being a useful reference for studious interested in subsequent research.

Abstract
The subject of this contribution is the minority of Guardia Piemontese, the Occitan island in Calabria. In particular, a collection of texts belonging to the ‘Guardiola’ popular tradition will be presented. It is a corpus curated by Arturo Genre, with the primary purpose of providing a precious mean for retrieving ‘Guardiola’ historical memory, as well as being a useful reference for studious interested in subsequent research. The collection, composed in five sections (songs, rhymes, stories, riddles, proverbs and sayings), is composed of both unpublished texts and appeared texts, since from the end of the nineteenth century, on various publications relating to the history of Guardia Piemontese. The presentation of a series of collection texts is therefore of particular relevance as it offers a fairly broad sample of the morphological and syntactic structure of the ‘Guardiolo’ linguistic code, allowing to make interesting comparisons between the different evolutionary stages of the alloglot language.I documenti in FLORE sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
