Abstract:

This book is one of the first systematic studies to describe the linguistic
repertoire and the communicative strategies adopted by Ghanaian
immigrants in Italy.

The linguistic repertoire of the Ghanaian community in Bergamo (Northern
Italy) is described with a special focus on the different codes composing it.
The author analyzes the role that each code plays in expressing the
community members' ethnic and linguistic identity, and the speakers'
attitudes towards each code. She draws on the results of qualitative
analysis - adopting both a macro-sociolinguistic and a micro-sociolinguistic
perspective - of a database of face-to-face interactions and of formal
interviews involving a selected group of Ghanaian immigrants.

Contents:
The Ghanaian Community in Bergamo and its Province: a Socio-
Demographic and Sociolinguistic Overview
- Language Alternation Strategies in a Conversational Framework
- Conversational Analysis of Code-Switching Occurrences
- Conversational Analysis of Transfer Occurrences.

Linguistic Field(s): Discourse Analysis
                            Sociolinguistics

Written In: English (eng )
