Dear staff, 

I'm an Italian student (University of Genoa), I'm writing my final
work in order to get my degree.

I'm writing about the spontaneous acquisition of Italian as a second
language for people coming from Ecuador, as here in Genoa we've got a
lot of Ecuatorian immigrants.

Where can I find any article in English about this subject, or better,
about the acquisition of Italian by a Spanish talker? Have you got
any link to suggest me?

Best Regards.

Subject: gradable &ungradable adjectives

Dear Sirs,
 
I am doing a study on gradable and ungradable adjectives(Those
adjectives which cannot be made into comparative ones) in English and
make a contrastive analysis between Farsi and English.

I'd appreciate any kind help.
 
Truly.
