| Abstract: | This article employs a qualitative sociolinguistic approach to investigate the linguistic biographies of southern immigrants settled in Turin, focusing on the attitudes of speakers belonging to first and intermediate generations. On the one hand, it describes the attitudes and the linguistic biographies of two groups of migrants, different per generation; on the other, it compares the two generations in order to underline similarities and differences between the two groups of speakers. The results, first, shed light on linguistic biographies and attitudes of southern migrants to Turin, highlighting the way they acquired Italian. They also provided evidence that the two generations differ both in attitudes and feeling of belonging to their region of origin. In doing so, the article contributes to a better understanding of the so-called intermediate generation, which is a category that sociolinguists borrowed from anthropologists and sociologists.
