Il lavoro di tesi si presenta come un'attenta analisi delle complessità della lingua dello studio, specialmente in relazione a classi scolastiche plurilingui. Da un punto di vista linguistico-cognitivo, vengono approfonditi e problematizzati i meccanismi di comprensione e presentate le sensibili differenze tra capacità linguistiche basilari e accademico-disciplinari. L'attenzione è stata essenzialmente rivolta alla lingua disciplinare della storia, di cui sono stati evidenziati i peculiari tratti microlinguistici trasversali e le caratteristiche prettamente morfologiche e lessicali. La fase sperimentale della tesi è consistita in un'operazione di facilitazione linguistica di un testo storico disciplinare rispetto ad una classe di scuola secondaria di I grado. Le strategie didattiche sono state finalizzate ad un accesso collettivo e consapevole alla lingua disciplinare dei testi manualistici che, analizzati quantitativamente e qualitativamente, mostrano spesso un indice di complessità elevato e disfunzionale. Obiettivo della tesi è stato dunque dimostrare che un adeguato supporto di facilitazione alla lingua dello studio può stimolare maggiormente il confronto degli studenti con il testo manualistico e garantire strategie di lettura e comprensione applicabili trasversalmente nel loro percorso di formazione.

Abstract
The thesis work is presented as a careful analysis of the complexities of the language of study, especially in relation to multilingual school classes. From a linguistic-cognitive perspective, the mechanisms of comprehension are explored and problematized, and the sensitive differences between basic and academic-disciplinary language skills are presented. The focus was mainly on the disciplinary language of history, whose peculiar cross-linguistic micro-linguistic features and purely morphological and lexical characteristics were highlighted. The experimental phase of the thesis consisted of linguistic facilitation of a disciplinary history text with respect to a secondary school class. The teaching strategies were aimed at a collective and conscious access to the disciplinary language of manualistic texts, which, analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively, often show a high and dysfunctional complexity index. Thus, the objective of this thesis was to demonstrate that adequate facilitation support for the language of study can better stimulate students' confrontation with the manualistic text and ensure cross-applicable reading and comprehension strategies in their education.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
