This thesis investigates the acquisition of negation in German by native Italian speaker (L1 Italian) learning German as a second language (L2). The study focuses on high school students in Padua, employing a translation test to collect data on their usage of negation structures. By identifying common patterns, errors, and development stages in the acquisition process, the research aims to enhance the understanding of cross-linguistic influences.
