In this paper we present the effort made to define a conceptual approach for the information space entailed by a multidisciplinary and collaborative project, named ``Cimbrian as a test case for synchronic and diachronic language variation'', which provides linguists with a test bed for formal hypotheses concerning human language. Aims of the project are to collect, digitize and tag linguistic data from the German variety of Cimbrian~--~spoken in three relevant areas of northern Italy: Giazza (VR), Luserna (TN), and Roana (VI)~--~and to make available on-line a valuable and innovative linguistic resource for the in-depth study of Cimbrian. The task is addressed by a multidisciplinary team of linguists and computer scientists who, combining their competence, aim to make available new tools for linguistic analysis.

Abstract
In this paper we present the effort made to define a conceptual approach for the information space entailed by a multidisciplinary and collaborative project, named ``Cimbrian as a test case for synchronic and diachronic language variation'', which provides linguists with a test bed for formal hypotheses concerning human language. Aims of the project are to collect, digitize and tag linguistic data from the German variety of Cimbrian~--~spoken in three relevant areas of northern Italy: Giazza (VR), Luserna (TN), and Roana (VI)~--~and to make available on-line a valuable and innovative linguistic resource for the in-depth study of Cimbrian. The task is addressed by a multidisciplinary team of linguists and computer scientists who, combining their competence, aim to make available new tools for linguistic analysis.Pubblicazioni consigliate
