The Ideology of ``Monographism'' and the Advantages of Digraphia. The Case of Lombard Paolo Coluzzi  Download (115.31 kB) Abstract. This paper discusses the ideology of monographism and its possible overcoming through digraphia, i.e., the use of two or more writing systems for the same language. After a general introduction, the specific case of Lombard will be discussed as an example. Lombard, a regional language spoken in Northern Italy, is written using different writing systems, more specifically three main ones for the Western variety. As each of these writing systems has advantages and disadvantages, the author sees digraphia as a possible and workable solution, not only for Lombard but also for many other minority or regional languages in the world that find themselves in a similar situation.
