Rule reminder

Dislocation is present in standard Italian but is particularly frequent and varied in Italian dialects (dialetti). Some dialects allow patterns not found in standard Italian, such as clitic doubling with subjects or different clitic forms. Understanding the dialect influence on spoken Italian helps explain many 'non-standard' constructions heard in everyday speech.
