The study conducted in this thesis examines the acquisition of the Portuguese language within a migratory context, delving into the dynamics of bilingualism and the interconnection between language, identity, and the emotional sphere. The research takes as its starting point the novel Azul Corvo by Adriana Lisboa, a work that offers an emblematic representation of the migratory experience and the resulting linguistic and identity transformations. The argumentative path opens with a presentation of the author's biography and a textual analysis aimed at highlighting how the protagonist's migratory journey influences her identity construction. Drawing from this literary framework, the thesis examines the main theoretical models of first language (L1) and second language (L2) acquisition, with a specific focus on linguistic development within migrant families. Within this scope, bilingualism is investigated not only as a technical competence but as a true space for negotiating the self. Finally, the investigation focuses on the emotional implications of using a new language, illustrating how it can reconfigure the interpretation of feelings and interpersonal relationships. By integrating literary and linguistic perspectives, this thesis offers an interdisciplinary reflection on the central role of language in contemporary migratory processes.
L’indagine condotta in questa tesi analizza l’acquisizione della lingua portoghese in contesto migratorio, approfondendo le dinamiche del bilinguismo e l'interconnessione tra lingua, identità e dimensione emotiva. Il lavoro assume come punto di partenza il romanzo Azul Corvo di Adriana Lisboa, opera che offre una rappresentazione emblematica dell’esperienza migratoria e delle trasformazioni linguistiche che ne conseguono. Il percorso argomentativo si apre con la presentazione della biografia dell’autrice e un'analisi del testo volta a evidenziare come il vissuto migratorio della protagonista ne influenzi la costruzione identitaria. Sulla base di questo scenario letterario, la tesi esamina i principali modelli teorici sull’apprendimento della lingua materna (L1) e della seconda lingua (L2), con un focus specifico sull’acquisizione linguistica nelle famiglie migranti. In tale ambito, il bilinguismo viene indagato non solo come competenza tecnica, ma come vero e proprio spazio di negoziazione dell'io. Infine, lo studio si sofferma sulle implicazioni emotive legate all'uso di una nuova lingua, illustrando come quest'ultima possa riconfigurare l'interpretazione dei sentimenti e i rapporti interpersonali. Integrando prospettive letterarie e linguistiche, la tesi offre una riflessione interdisciplinare sul ruolo centrale del linguaggio nei processi migratori contemporanei.

Abstract
The study conducted in this thesis examines the acquisition of the Portuguese language within a migratory context, delving into the dynamics of bilingualism and the interconnection between language, identity, and the emotional sphere. The research takes as its starting point the novel Azul Corvo by Adriana Lisboa, a work that offers an emblematic representation of the migratory experience and the resulting linguistic and identity transformations. The argumentative path opens with a presentation of the author's biography and a textual analysis aimed at highlighting how the protagonist's migratory journey influences her identity construction. Drawing from this literary framework, the thesis examines the main theoretical models of first language (L1) and second language (L2) acquisition, with a specific focus on linguistic development within migrant families. Within this scope, bilingualism is investigated not only as a technical competence but as a true space for negotiating the self. Finally, the investigation focuses on the emotional implications of using a new language, illustrating how it can reconfigure the interpretation of feelings and interpersonal relationships. By integrating literary and linguistic perspectives, this thesis offers an interdisciplinary reflection on the central role of language in contemporary migratory processes.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
