Non-Prototypical Heritage Speakers
This case study investigates specific language phenomena and dominance patterns among second-generation speakers of Sri Lankan origin in Naples within the framework of the HELLO Campania Project. While second generations are typically assumed to be dominant in the societal majority language, the Sri Lankan community—characterized by exceptionally high rates of heritage language maintenance—offers a critical testing ground for this assumption. Dra…

Investigating insertional code-mixing in Italian migrants in the United Kingdom
Aims: This article investigates English lexical insertions in a corpus collected with first- and second-generation Italian migrants in two English cities, namely Bedford and Cambridge.

Using data collected through a sociolinguistic questionnaire admi…
Language Contact in Returning Migrants
This paper investigates codeswitching among migrants who have returned and settled in their home village of Montefalcione, in the province of Avellino (South of Italy), from the English cities of Bedford and Peterborough. From a linguistic point of view, returnees are multilinguals who spent their childhood in a migrant setting, during which time they were exposed both to their family language(s) and the dominant language of the society. They sub…
