My applied research on the significance of magico-religious motivations in European dialects began with the Atlas Linguarum Europae (ALE) (Alinei 1983a), and continued albeit not exclusively with the same project (Alinei 1986; Barros Ferreira and Alinei 1990; Alinei forthcoming a, forthcoming b, forthcoming c). On the theoretical level, however, my research on the general notion of 'motivation' had begun earlier (Alinei 1979, 1980), and has continued ever since (Alinei 1996a, 1996b, forthcoming a). As far as magicoreligious motivations are concerned, I developed my research on a more theoretical level in a book (1984a) and in a number of articles published in Italian (Alinei 1981, 1983b, 1984b, 1984c, 1984d, 1984e, 1985a, 1985b, 1986, 1987a, 1987b, 1987c, 1988a, 1988b, 1989, 1990, 1992a, 1993a, 1993b, 1994, 1995, forthcoming b, forthcoming c). This is why I thought it might be useful to summarise the main aspects of my research, both theoretical and applied, in an article for the English reader. Before illustrating the specific topic of magico-religious motivations, I will dwell on the more general problem of the theoretical status of 'motivation' itself.
