L'altérité croisée des Croates du Molise
Résumé
Molisan Croatian has been evolving in Southern Italy for nearly five centuries, but is now coming to an end, as its sociolinguistic settings are shrinking quickly: low demography, hardly any children left to learn it at school in villages, and a strong pressure of several Italian speaking regional centers on the coast, which are tearing apart its sociolinguistic network. This paper makes an account of a recent fieldwork carried out in April 2016 on this endangered language situation, from the standpoint of cross-mediated alterity.
