Abstract
The essay presents a research started in 2016 at the University for Foreigners of Perugia and dedicated to the learning of post-basic Italian by adult foreigners permanently residing in Perugia. The results of the survey will be published in a forthcoming volume entitled ‘ Il muro della lingua: stranieri residenti e l'apprendimento dell'italiano avanzato ’ ( The language barrier: resident foreigners and advanced Italian learning ). The first part addresses the issue of learning immigrants' identity, drawing on the definition of Straniero Residente proposed by Donatella Di Cesare. In the second part, I briefly describe the groups of informants and the structure of the questionnaire. The third section provides some examples and illustrates the methodological choices for the linguistics data analysis.
