The most teutonic American states

Area 10 – Scienze dell'antichità, filologico-letterarie e storico-artistiche

Winsconsin Texas and Pennsylvania can be defined as the most teutonic American states but each from a different point of view. The main aspects pertinent to German settlers residing the three states are delineated throughout this work. The author speaks about the reasons why they should be considered teutonic states: as far as Texas and Pennsylvania are concerned the cause is linguistic whereas Wisconsin can be regarded as one of the most Teutonic states in a social and demographic sense. In order to demonstrate his thesis the author assembles a cinematographic corpus and carries out several lexicographic investigations and corpus analyses.
