One of the main objectives of this paper is to further clarify the links between lists and language proficiency. To do so, we focused on lists produced by native and non-native Italian speakers during a lexical search in the context of spontaneous spoken language. The study presented here is based on a corpus of oral productions elicited through a task. As the paper will show, some elements usually considered in the literature as completely disparate can be considered together within the framework of lists. Furthermore, it will show the gradual emergence as construction of a particular subset of lists of lexical searches. *

We propose to use this label to refer to an abstract linguistic pattern that happens to be shared by a number of linguistic phenomena that are detectable at different levels of structure and that, consequently, are not normally studied together. In the paper we base our analysis on Italian data, but many generalizations can hold for other languages too. We can characterize a LC as the multiple realization of one and the same structural position. This general definition of LC can in principle be applied to different domains, namely morphology, lexicon, and syntax This kind of analysis is made theoretically possible by assuming an architecture of the grammar similar to the one proposed by Construction Grammar. In the article, we will prove that LCs are constructions in the technical sense of Construction Grammar. We provide a formal characterization of LCs. We will then see that LCs have a very g...

In questo lavoro si affronta il tema della comprensione scritta dal punto di vista dell'IC mo-strando il contributo teorico e didattico che tale approccio ha dato al filone di studi sulla lettura in lingua straniera. In particolare, gli autori illustrano una proposta per rendere plurilingue il lettore con la metodologia EuRom, una delle metodologie più diffuse in questo ambito e approfondiscono le strategie e le tecniche utilizzate per guidare la lettura.
