The other problem, a uniform written language as an alternative to writing in a speci昀椀c local variety, was introduced during a second conference in December 1991. Uniformly written Resian would put it, at least in certain domains, on par with other socially accepted standard languages. Elevating the status of Resian in the eyes of its own speakers and in those of the outside world would counter the tendency toward language loss, so it was hoped. The concept of a uniform written language (a.k.a. standard Resian, SR) met with no opposition, and in February 1992 Mayor Luigi Paletti entrusted the author with the task of developing such a standard. The original project called for an orthography, a three-volume description of morphology, and a dictionary. Among these, the volume on the morphology of the verb is still lacking. The slow progress characterizing the project is due to two main factors, one being the procedure used to arrive at SR forms and the other being the 昀氀uctuating level of political support. The mayors that followed Paletti (1990‒1999) supported the project either half-heartedly (Sergio Barbarino, 1999‒2009) or not at all (Sergio Chinese, 2009‒2019). It was only Mayor Anna Micelli (2019‒present) that again pushed for completion of the project. As for the procedure, it was decided that SR should strike a balance between the major local varieties, making thorough knowledge of these varieties a prerequisite for establishing SR forms. The group of informants was limited to elderly female speakers born before the Second World War because at the start of the project these persons were regarded by the speech community as being the most pro昀椀cient speakers. The details of the procedure have already been explained in Slovenian publications (see Šekli 1999, 2018; Steenwijk 2000), and so I do not repeat them here. The volume on Resian orthography contains SR forms and the corresponding forms in the major local varieties. The reasons for including the latter were, 昀椀rst, to show in a transparent manner how the SR forms had been established and, second, to allow native speakers to write in one of those varieties in a normalized form, if they so preferred. It was not to be expected that a speaker would master the intricacies of SR right away, whereas the normalized varieties (NVs) could be of immediate use. The ensuing volumes on morphology followed this setup. They o昀昀er a description of SR and of the four NVs, each presented contrastively with respect to SR. The 2005 orthographical dictionary also takes SR forms as the headword, followed by the forms for the NVs. Indexes make it possible to search by one of the NVs. Because the mayor at the time signaled his interest in the project less than twelve months before election day, the dictionary had to be produced before the morphological description was completed. As a consequence, it does not o昀昀er as much morphological information as was originally planned. Resian contains quite a few speci昀椀c types of alternation, especially vowel gradation, which obscure the relations between the surface forms of a single stem. 318
