L’acquisizione del linguaggio costituisce una delle tappe più importanti dello sviluppo infantile. All’interno di questo contesto il bilinguismo è diventato un importante oggetto di studio. L’incremento del flusso di immigrazioni, infatti aumenta la proporzione di persone bilingui a livello europeo e globale. Il presente elaborato si propone di esplorare il ruolo del contesto familiare nello sviluppo linguistico dei bambini bilingui, mettendo in luce come questo sia influenzato dalle attività quotidiane all’interno dell’ambiente familiare, dalle percezioni e dalle aspettative dei genitori. L’elaborato si articola in quattro capitoli e ciascuno di essi è dedicato all’analisi di uno studio scientifico che indaga queste tematiche. I contributi scientifici discussi sono in accordo nel dimostrare che lo sviluppo linguistico bilingue è un percorso mediato socialmente e fortemente dipendente dal contesto familiare. Le pratiche linguistiche adottate dai genitori possono promuovere la consapevolezza linguistica dei figli, permettendo così di imparare al meglio la loro lingua e la loro cultura.

Abstract
Language acquisition constitutes one of the most important milestones in child development. In this framework, bilingualism has become a significant subject of study. Indeed, the increase in immigration flows is raising the proportion of bilingual people at both the European and global levels. This paper aims to explore the role of the family context in the linguistic development of bilingual children, highlighting how it is influenced by daily activities within the home environment, as well as by parents' perceptions and expectations. The paper is divided into four chapters, each of which is dedicated to the analysis of a scientific study investigating these issues. The discussed scientific contributions agree in demonstrating that bilingual language development is a socially mediated process that is heavily dependent on the family context. The language practices adopted by parents can promote their children's linguistic awareness, thus allowing them to better learn their language and culture.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
