The Centres
The Accademia della Crusca is concerned with Italian language in all its cognitive, cultural and social aspects, in the historical and current situation of Italy within the framework of European multilingualism and worldwide communication.
The institutional activity of the Accademia della Crusca is primarily directed towards scientific research on Italian language and towards the training of young researchers. The scientific activity is generally connected, with the fundamental support of the Library and the Archive, with the four following research Centres:
- Centre for the Study of Italian Philology
- Centre for the Study of Italian Lexicography
- Centre for the Study of Italian Grammar
- Centre for Advice on the Contemporary Italian language
Each research Centre, with the frequent help of external collaborators, is under the direction of one Academician, elected by the College of Academicians, that has to report, yearly, the activity of the Centre to the College.
