(2023) In Journal of Educational, Cultural and Psychological Studies 27. p.173-193- Abstract
- The present study investigates family-related language practices of Moldovan mothers emigrated to Italy, through a semi-structured interview. To date, few studies have considered linguistic choices in relation to educational practices and identity aspects in this population. Ten Moldovan woman have been interviewed. Results from a thematic analysis on the collected interviews has highlighted a complex relationship between identity, language and education: the use of the mother tongue or the «new» language appeared intertwined with the historical and political events of the country of origin, with consequences on the different use of languages in domestic contexts, through specific choices or «code-mixing»; or in extended family contexts....

With their children, the language of origin is predominant, although the practices adopted to promote it are often mediated by TV. Overall, the findings confirm the interdependent nature of the cultural, social and identity aspects that influence language practices in migrant families from Moldova; at the same time, the selective use of these practices within different contexts and relationships has consequences for their children’s educational experiences.

Il presente studio ha indagato le pratiche linguistiche familiari di madri moldave emi-grate in Italia, con un figlio in età prescolare, attraverso un’intervista semi-strutturata. Ad oggi pochi studi hanno considerato le scelte linguistiche in relazione alle pratiche educative e agli aspetti identitari in questa popolazione. L’analisi tematica svolta sulle interviste condotte ad un gruppo di dieci donne di nazionalità moldava ha messo in luce una relazione complessa tra identità, lingua ed educazione: l’uso della lingua d’origine o della «nuova» lingua è apparso intrecciato alle vicende storiche e alle politiche del paese d’origine, con conseguenze sul diverso uso delle lingue nei contesti domestici, che ha pre-visto scelte specifiche o «code-mixing» o in contesti famigliari allargati. Con i figli, la lin-gua d’origine è predominante, anche se le pratiche adottate per promuoverla sono spesso mediate dalla TV. Nel complesso, i risultati confermano la natura interdipendente degli aspetti culturali, sociali e identitari che influenzano le pratiche linguistiche nelle fami-glie migranti dalla Moldavia; allo stesso tempo, l’uso selettivo di queste pratiche all’inter-no di diversi contesti e relazioni ha conseguenze sulle esperienze educative dei loro figli.
