The «Rivista del Dizionario Etimologico e Storico del Napoletano» (RiDESN) is a semi-annual publication, born from the experience gained in the workshop of the Dizionario Etimologico e Storico del Napoletano (DESN), directed by Nicola De Blasi and Francesco Montuori. On the one hand, «RiDESN» proposes itself as a hub for the studies related to Italo-Romance varieties (with particular attention to those of central and southern Italy), accepting papers of linguistic, philological, and historical-literary interest (sections 1-3); on the other hand, it intends to serve as a forum for updates on the work of DESN (monographic sections 4-5).

1. Saggi ['Essays'] – Historical, dialectological and lexicographic linguistic studies.
2. Autori e testi ['Authors and texts'] – New acquisitions on the internal and external history of Neapolitan and Italo-Romance linguistic varieties: studies on works and authors; editions of literary and non-literary texts.
3. Discussioni e cronache ['Discussions and Chronicles'] – Reviews and bibliographic records; lexical notes; reflections on current issues relevant to Italian linguistics.
4. Studi dal laboratorio del DESN ['Studies from the DESN laboratory'] – Entries, repertoires and essays for the DESN.
5. Indice delle voci del DESN ['DESN entries Index'] – Updates on recently published DESN words.
