| Summary: | Knowing the dynamics of intra-family interaction through which processes of intergenerational linguistic transmission take place is fundamental in the study of the sociolinguistic and linguistic-cultural practices within families in a permanent migratory context (Lannutti, 2010).

Through a qualitative survey (questionnaires and interviews) conducted on a sample of 27 adolescents (between 13 and 20) born in Italy from African parents, the main dynamics of interaction and linguistic and cultural transmission will be analysed. |
