Abstract:

This paper aims to outline the history of koinè, both as a concept and as a term. As far as the Italian language is concerned, the concept of koinè first occurs in the Renaissance as lingua com(m)une (a loan translation from Greek κοινη διαλεκτος 'common language`), while the term koinè apparently is not attested before the 19th century, with a meaning still attached to the original sense of 'Alexandrian Greek`. Only in the second half of the 20th century the term koinè develops a new set of meanings more strictly connected to the Italian milieu.
