This edited book brings together experts on the sociolinguistics of
immigration with a focus on the Italo-Romance dialects.
Sociolinguistic research on immigrant communities in Italy has
widely studied the acquisition and use of Italian as L2 by
first-generation immigrants, the maintenance of immigrant languages
and code-switching between Italian and the immigrant languages.
However, these studies have mostly ignored or neglected to
investigate immigrant speakers' use of Italo-Romance dialects,
their awareness of the sociolinguistic situation of majority and
minority languages, and their attitudes towards them. Given the
important role of Italo-Romance dialects in everyday communication
and as a marker of regional identity, this book aims to fill this
gap and understand more about the role that these languages play in
the linguistic repertoire of immigrants. This book will be of
interest to students and scholars of sociolinguistics, minority
languages, multilingualism, migration, and social anthropology.
