The present work moves from a wider project on Italian as L2 competence ofa group of foreign unaccompanied minors (MSNA) included in the literacy coursesof the Scuola di Lingua Italiana per Stranieri dell’Università di Palermo (ItaStra).The article focuses on the analysis of a narrative speech corpus from native/nonnative face to face conversations. The narratives involve in particular the experienceof migration. In this perspective, a special attention will be paid on the interactionturns, the discourse and pragmatic competence, and the use of linguistic constructionstypical of story-telling (the use of conjunctions, verb tense conjugation andadverbs).
