Yesterday in Bellinzona Angela Ferrari organized a meeting about Covid-related institutional communication in the Swiss Canton #ticino . A thought-provoking encounter of perspectives between linguists, professionals and politicians, about lexical choices, metaphor, text structure, mitigation/intensification, the building of trust, the transposition in #plainlanguage . Among many other findings: the #italianlanguage used in institutional contexts in #switzerland differs from standard Italian in #italy, which increments the body of evidence for pluricentrism #italianolinguapluricentrica
