Lori Repetti
Lori Repetti studies the history and phonology of the Romance languages, in particular Italian and Italian dialects. She is primarily interested in prosody and its interaction with other areas of grammar (phonetics, morphology, syntax). Her research examines the prosodic structure of northern Italian dialects, the adaptation of foreign words to the phonology and morphology of Italian, the intonational patterns of Sardinian (joint work with Dr. Miran Kim), the phonology and syntax of clitics in northern Italian dialects (joint work with Prof. Anna Cardinaletti), and the phonology and syntax of imperatives in Romance languages (NSF-funded work with Prof. Francisco Ordóñez). She has conducted field research throughout Italy, and in particular in northern Italy.

Clitics of Romance Languages (Lori Repetti and Francisco Ordóñez)
CRL is a searchable database that allows users to examine data involving a class of pronouns (clitics) that are normally stressless, but which, in the languages under investigation, may exhibit or modify stress. The database includes text as well as audio files for minority Romance languages spoken in the South of France, the South and North of Italy, the Balearic Islands, and the islands of Corsica and Sardinia
