Аннотация: Due to the uncommon way in which the Italian language was developing as a literary tongue, its evolution can hardly be divided into periods according to the traditional scheme (that is, by singling out Early Middle Modern Italian). The history of Italian is a very intricate, non-linear process that could and should better be described in terms of interplay of norms in the Coserian sense of the term. The 16th century, if regarded from this perspective, is a very peculiar period when the literary language based on the dialect of Florence was being standardized and accepted as the prestigious language variety all over Italy, at the same time becoming second language, not mother tongue for a great part of its speakers and writers. The present study is a brief sketch meant to illustrate how a group of causal conjunctions (ché, perché, and con ciò sia cosa che) was undergoing functional-stylistic distribution in the writings by 16th-century Tuscan authors (ché for the informal prose genres, perché as the neutral conjunction used most widely, con ciò sia cosa che ‒ on the contrary, pompous and dying out), while the prose by non-natives of Tuscany fails to represent this stratification process. Thus, in the prose samples by Pietro Bembo these conjunctions, including the obsolete con ciò sia cosa che, are still used according to the 13th-14th-century pattern. The prevalence of the bembist party in questione della lingua made the Italians adopt as the model just one of the functional languages (formal and high prose genres), while the dialect of Florence as a living language variety continued to develop at its own pace. The delayed effects of this breakup became evident only later, when the Italian language started to function as a full-fledged national language with the complete set of functional languages for all the communicative needs.
