Abstract

This paper examines the tale Golia by Beppe Fenoglio, with the purpose of looking for peculiar representations of the communication between Italians and Germans. In particular, the study explores the German spoken by Italians and the Italian spoken by Germans. Particular attention is given to the typical habit of simplifying other languages. After a confrontation between the tale by Fenoglio and other tales and novels dealing with the same topic, the paper will address interpretative proposals of language choices.
