Discourse markers in Italian L2 and heritage language

The project analyses discourse markers in Italian, by comparing the acquisition of discourse markers by Belgian-Dutch speakers who study Italian as second language with that by Belgian- Dutch speakers who have learnt Italian as their heritage language. The project produces an analysis of the linguistic and sociolinguistic factors involved.
