	The Genius of Robert Walser - The New York Review of Books
		Robert Walser was born in 1878 in the canton of Bern, the seventh of eight children.
		Walser's texts are driven neither by logic nor by narrative but by moods, fancies, and associations: in temperament he is less a thinker or storyteller than an essayist.
		Today Walser is judged largely on the basis of his novels, even though these form only a fifth of his output, and even though the novel proper was not his forte (the four novels he left behind really belong to the tradition of the novella).

	Walser German - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Walser language or Walscher language, in German Walserdeutsch, is a group of Highest Alemannic dialects spoken in Walser settlements in parts of Switzerland, Italy, Liechtenstein, and Austria.
		It is possible to point out whether specific Walser dialects have originated in the Eastern dialects of the Wallis canton or in the Western dialects.
		Conservative Walser dialects are more similar to the respective groups of Walliser German dialects than to other Walser dialects.

	Mikhail Epstein
		Language is the main vehicle of communication, and the mission of ideology is to rule the process of communication and organize people into communities governed by specific ideas.
		Ideological language became the decisive tool of the Soviet regime's systematic construction of such "ideal" phenomena as the "Soviet man" and "Soviet mentality." Yet, despite its crucial influence on Soviet society, ideological language--or "ideolanguage"--has not been properly investigated in the Soviet Union as a single, comprehensive phenomenon.
		In this perspective, ideology is alien to the essence of language, an irrational distortion of its rational structures.

		Unlike the Walsers of Gressoney and Ayas, those of Issime knew French and emigrated especially to the regions where the language was spoken, such as the Aosta area, Savoy, the Dauphinate and French Switzerland, where they worked mainly as bricklayers and carpenters.
		Albeit not a language of the area, it was often used by the Franco-Provencal and Walser populations as a 'lingua franca' to maintain relations with the inhabitants of the Piedmontese plain below.
		The slang is not a language but a series of words of which only they knew the meaning, and it is interesting that many of these words clearly derive from the Walser language of Ayas.

	Wir Walser
		The Walsers are part of a distinctive and self-willed being in the Alpine region and even today they marked by their strong will for survival which ultimately allowed them to live in the highest parts of our mountainous world.
		The Walsers as individualists live in scattered settlements, Romans, however, in closed villages" What is correct is the fact that the Walsers had the habit of building scattered settlements and wooden houses.
		As the Walsers arrived in their new homeland in the 13th and 14th centuries, the cultivable land was already occupied by the Romance people.

	Wir Walser: Language
		It represents a 700-year old link between all the Walser settlements in the central alpine area and in the original homeland on the banks of the Rhone river.
		In the face of the general desolation of our environment the language becomes the medium where homeland is still to be felt.
		As a matter of fact it is precisely this language that is being threatened and which is about to disappear unfortunately.

	Walsertreffen 2007 - Alagna Monterosa - Valsesia (Italy)
		In the treaty there is no mention of the existence of a Walser settlement in the Alagna mountain pastures of the Biandrate family, a fact which leads one to think of a date closer to 1285 rather than that of 1270 for the birth of Alagna as German colony.
		Until 1325 the communities of Pietre Gemelle depended on the parish of Scopea; in the separation from the latter the arrival of the Walser was crucial, with the consequent increase in the population and the growing difficulty in reaching such a distant locality.
		The history of the Walser of Pietre Gemelle, which had remained almost unchanged for four centuries, took a very significant turn in the XVII century, when, due to the rise in the population, and the new Enlightenment ideas that filtered from across the alps, the people began to leave the town.

		In particular it examines how these writers, who include Brecht, Hesse, Böll, Martin Walser and Brinkmann, have written about the everyday worlds of ordinary people and their identification with popular culture, and how they have consciously fused high literary techniques with styles and subject matter absorbed from the sphere of traditional and contemporary culture.
		Walsers Stücke der sechziger Jahre, I argue that Walser's dramas of the 1960s, which helped to lay the foundations for a new West German theatre, were also motivated by a conscious attack on the grand German cultural tradition of Bildung.
		The weapon Walser used in his attack was that of das Triviale, which means not only ‘trivial' or ‘banal' matter, but also, more neutrally, the ‘popular' and the ‘everyday'.

	Valle d'Aosta, Italy
		The Lys (or Gressoney) valley conserves a typically alpine appearance: the two main resorts, Gressoney-St-Jean and Gressoney-La-Trinité are equipped for summer tourism (excursions into the Mount Rosa group) and winter (the Monterosaski, ski network with Alagna Valsesia and Champoluc).
		The Walser language and traditions are conserved in the upper valley and at Issime.
		The word Walser comes from the name of the people of German origin who descended here from Valais in the 13th century; the architecture of the stone houses is also characteristic.
