Sabellismi in latino e falisco

This paper focuses on sabellicisms in Latin and Faliscan. Specifically, it aims to establish if and how the possible identification of linguistic interference phenomena from Sabellian languages into Latin and Faliscan can contribute in defining Sabellian languages themselves. Firstly, I present some theoretical and methodological considerations on both the detectability of such phenomena and their use in reconstructing the source languages in the case of Corpus- or Restsprachen. I then analyse two possible sabellicisms in Latin and Faliscan respectively, namely popa and posticnu.
