Declining or Waning

While Italica Belgradensia has maintained a strong focus on various themes, certain areas have shown a decline in prominence over recent years. This waning interest may reflect broader shifts in research priorities or changing cultural contexts.
  1. Historical Linguistics:
    There appears to be a decrease in articles focused on historical linguistics or diachronic studies of the Italian language, suggesting a shift towards contemporary issues in language and culture.
  2. Futurism and Dadaism:
    While previously discussed, themes related to Futurism and Dadaism in Italian literature seem to have waned, indicating a potential diminishing interest in avant-garde movements in favor of more current literary analysis.
  3. Medieval Studies:
    Research focusing on medieval Italian literature and its rhetorical frameworks has become less frequent, possibly overshadowed by modern and contemporary literary explorations.
  4. Regional Dialects:
    There has been a noticeable decrease in discussions surrounding regional dialects of Italian, particularly in the context of their sociolinguistic implications, which may indicate a shift towards a more standardized approach in language studies.
