Here is a small collection of links to online places where you can read more about "theoretical" side of languages, groups of languages, linguistics and similar topics. Most of them are from my bookmarks ;)

More Italian resources
(essentially I compiled some of things I found online for my friend, and then I decided to share them with you as well):

http://static.unilang.org/resources/courses/learnitalian_en.php - Basic Italian language course online, part 1
http://static.unilang.org/resources/courses/learnitalian2_en.php - Basic Italian language course online, part 2
http://home.unilang.org/main/wiki2/index.php/Italian_grammar - Italian grammar reference
http://www.uvm.edu/~cmazzoni/3grammatica/grammatica/ - Italian grammar site

http://www.clic.net/~lasallej/italiano/index.html - Click on "grammatica italiana" to see grammar stuff, and check the collection of the links there!

http://www.zacinto.it/errori.htm - view some errors commonly made (warning: the site explains everything in Italian!)

http://www.dialettiitaliani.com/ - Various stuff in Italian dialects (warning - Italian is one of the languages very rich of dialects, which can be quite far from the standard Italian - from what I've seen, though, they are translated as well in standard)

http://www.unb.br/il/let/abpi2000/antoniani.htm - "Lingua e dialetti in Italia" - an interesting reading, but iit is entirely in Italian

http://xoomer.virgilio.it/hqsgia/ - A site about Italian proverbs
http://web.tiscali.it/proverbiitaliani/ - Another site of Italian proverbs
http://giavelli.interfree.it/proverbi_ita.html - And one more...

http://www.locuta.com/indirizzi.html - This is THE site, with a bunch of useful links - when I found it, I wanted to delete all the previous and just leave this ;)

Spero che vi piaceranno :)
Enjoy.

Euharisto, Denise! (cannot type Greek here... )
By the way, do you know any good Greek forums (on literature, philosophy, languages, whatever; something like LW, but, if possible, with more serious atmosphere?)?
