Migrazione stagionale, bilinguismo e politiche linguistico-educative nelle valli dei gelatieri

Abstract

The following contribution analyses a particular form of bilingualism present in the mountains and foothills of Veneto (Belluno and Treviso), which originated from a century-old tradition of ice-cream makers’ seasonal migration to German-speaking countries. The children of ice-cream makers are also ‘naturally’ bilingual, although this is not given adequate recognition within educational policies.
