Abstract:

When Italians speak Russian, do they think in Italian or Russian? Or does the
thinking not happen in either language? This work is an attempt to answer
these questions by an experimental piece of research. The speed and success of
the acquisition of the syntactic hierarchization and discourse structuring in
Italian native speakers learning Russian L2 were measured and matched in order
to compare the distances between Italian and Russian on these two levels. It
was demonstrated that the way the speaker uses a linguistic system is not a
totally free and arbitrary choice, but it follows certain regularities, and
constitutes his textual-discourse competence, i.e. the language use is
specifically structured, and the native structure of the linguistic use is
much more resistant to the acquisition of the second language than the
morpho-syntactic component, probably because the former influences the
speaker’s thinking.
