Abstract

A study of school grammars published in the first half of the twentieth century suggests that teaching of Italian language was often promoted as introduction to scientific thought. Grammaticography took inspiration from parallel trends in dialectology and in teaching other languages. Young scholars such as Migliorini and Devoto, abreast of scholarly developments in Europe, authored school texts.
