LINGUA, IDENTITÀ E IMMIGRAZIONE MALE A EST DI ANDREEA SIMIONEL.

The article focuses on the relationship between language, identity and immigration in the Andreea Simionel' case with her debut book, Male a est (Italo Svevo Edizioni, 2022). The author was born in 1996 in Botoşani, Romania, and in 2007 moved with her family to Turin, in Italy. The linguistic analysis presents some aspects of interference between Romanian and Italian in the language of the novel (borrowings, calques, linguistic stereotypes, xenisms), highlighting the author's creative operation.
