Abstract

Our study focuses on the longitudinal acquisition of Italian as an L2 by an immigrant Chinese child, Fiona, who was observed from the age of 3;8 to 6;11. The young informant is part of a database concerned with Italian L2 of immigrant children from different countries. Some of these children’s first contact with the Italian language took place at the age of three when they started to attend Italian kindergarten. Fiona was born in Naples but, when she began to attend Italian kindergarten, she spoke no Italian. Our study is focused on the development of auxiliation in Fiona’s interlanguage.
