#romancelanguage

Ho trovato qualcosa di estremamente interessante mentre spulciavo le pagine del web. Si tratta di una proposta di normalizzazione ortografica comune della lingua siciliana condotta da Alfonso Campisi (Université de La Manouba), Salvatore Giuffré (University of Malta),Renato Mancuso (Boston University) e da Lillyrose Veneziano Broccia (University of Pennsylvania).

E’ da tanto tempo che medito su questo argomento. Mi capita tantissime volte di trovarmi in serie difficoltà quando cerco di scrivere qualcosa in siciliano, perché non ci sono delle regole chiare.

Trovo che questa sia una bellissima iniziativa e che sia un passo importante per la nostra lingua. Penso che sia arrivata l’ora che una lingua così antica, venga standardizzata, insegnata e tutelata.

A seguire il link di cui vi parlavo, e se avete qualche pensiero da condividere in materia, vi prego, fatelo! :)

I (19F) met my friend (22F) about 3 months ago at work. We are both in school but the college is nearby to our job so a lot of our coworkers are on campus. When I first met her she flipped out at my other friend (19F) on the same night and we both just played it off. A little time after this I learned that she lived on the floor of my dorm building (we go to a small school so the chances of this was crazy). I started talking to her more since she lived on my floor so we had one thing in common. Some time passed and we started hanging out and it seemed pretty normal. She talked about some of her old friendships and roommates and how they didn't last because they kind of just stopped talking to her. She said it as they either got boyfriends or made better friends so they talked to her less. The vibes I was getting was that she didn't have many friends here at school since I never saw her out with people or heard her talk about current friends. We would even get food and she mentioned that she doesn't have anyone to get dinner with really so she never goes to our dining hall. I understood this as someone who didn't have many close friends my freshman year. It all really started going down hill during winter break. She called me over 20 times over break and I think I answered 3 times max. Every time I answered it would be because she would text me to answer because she needed an opinion on something. I also didn't call her once over break or really in general. Since going back to school she has tried making plans to get dinner with me almost every night and holds me accountable for the one that she planned would be our designated dinner time every Monday. She reminded me of this when my friend from home was visiting and I couldn't get dinner with her by saying "... but tonight is our dinner night" (what??). I also ended up sitting on my friend's floor with a few other people for 6 hours last week and received one call and a few texts about how "Ig we aren't getting dinner tonight then" when I didn't answer any of her messages or calls. She has since tried bringing this up and trying to confront me even though I said I might be able to get dinner with her but never actually confirmed. When I told her that my friend was coming over she proceeded to FaceTime me 2 times, text me, and then start knocking on my door in the span of like 1-2 hours. I was calling a mutual friend to tell her about what was going on and to ask if she has been doing the same to her. She said it hasn't been as bad as what I was dealing with and only a few text messages. I was in class the other day and she texted me saying she was at my door and she knew I was in there and to let her in so we could get dinner. She will also just invite herself over and do homework or crafts on my floor and will blast her TikTok. She will also randomly call her mom in my room and talk to her for 30 minutes. I feel bad because it seems like I'm her best friend and she is not anywhere near to being mine, but also she is getting borderline obsessive with me and I'm not really sure what to do. I want to distance myself but I don't know how when she is on the same floor as me and is obviously comfortable knocking on my door when I don't respond. I'm not very big on full blown confrontation or else I would've said something by now. Any advice on how to distance myself nicely?
