My roommate is an Italian linguist, so I asked him about this. He told me in Italy you can study linguistics, but that it is part of another department such as Foreign Languages or Literature, as Mangiat wrote. But, your curriculum is de facto Linguistics -- a type of specialization, I guess. =============================== Marcus Smith AIM: Anaakoot "When you lose a language, it's like dropping a bomb on a museum." -- Kenneth Hale ===============================
