Delimiti

Delimiti is the Italian term used to denote boundaries or limits. In everyday and technical contexts, it refers to the lines, extents, or jurisdictions that define where one area ends and another begins.

In geography and law, delimiti describe national, regional, or property borders. The associated process is delimitation, the act of drawing or agreeing on these lines, typically through negotiations, treaties, or judicial decisions. Demarcation, by contrast, is the on-the-ground marking of a boundary.

In mathematics and logic, related ideas describe the boundary or edge of a set, region, or concept. In linguistics, delimiti can refer to the boundaries between linguistic units such as words, phrases, or morphemes, shaping interpretation and analysis.

Delimitation often involves cartography, surveys, and geospatial data, and may rely on international law, commissions, or arbitration. Boundaries can be affected by natural changes, such as river courses, coastline shifts, or resource development, leading to renegotiations or revisions.
