For a multimedia museum of the Italian language. Starting with the visitor: an initial survey of interest in the Italian language space The article presents the first results of a survey about the interest of Italians in various linguistic aspects of the Italian language. The survey was conducted using a questionnaire, with a sample of about 1200 respondents. The aim of the study was to identify a list of attention-grabbing topics, in order to develop a section of the Multimedial Museum of the Italian Language (MULTI) dedicated to linguistics. The questionnaire, which consisted of different work phases (interviews with experts, pretest, final questionnaire, sampling and dissemination), was structured in order to conduct a descriptive analysis with statistical means. The data collected through the questionnaire identified the issues that aroused more or less interest among the target audience, highlighting the need for customized digital dissemination strategies according to visitors and topics. Some topics emerged as particularly attractive for the audience: in regards to the “inside” space, the most appreciated theme was the world of dialects (especially the literary and artistic production and the new uses of dialect); for the “external” space (that of Italian in the world), respondents regarded the “Italianisms”, the language of emigrants and that of immigrants, as the most interesting issues. The conclusions of this survey allow us to imagine the section of the MULTI dedicated to the linguistic space of Italian as a dialogic and inclusive one, which puts the visitor and his/her creativity and own interests at the core.
L’articolo presenta i primi risultati di un’indagine sull’interesse della popolazione per i diversi aspetti dello spazio linguistico dell’italiano, condotta attraverso la somministrazione di un questionario a un campione di circa 1200 intervistati. L’obiettivo della ricerca è stato quello di individuare quali argomenti suscitavano un maggiore coinvolgimento del pubblico, in vista della creazione di una sezione sullo spazio linguistico per il Museo multimediale della lingua italiana (MULTI). Il questionario, che ha previsto diverse fasi di lavoro (intervista agli esperti, pretest, questionario finale, campionatura e diffusione), è stato strutturato al fine di condurre un’analisi descrittiva con mezzi statistici. I dati rilevati mediante il questionario hanno permesso di individuare quali sono i temi di maggiore e minore interesse per il pubblico, rendendo evidente la necessità di attuare una strategia divulgativa differenziata sia per visitatori sia per argomenti. I temi sui quali si è concentrato maggiormente l’interesse del pubblico sono stati da un lato, per quel che riguarda lo spazio “interno” alla penisola, le diverse manifestazioni dei dialetti (testimonianze letterarie e artistiche, nuovi ambiti d’uso del dialetto), dall’altro, rispetto allo spazio “esterno” (quello dell'italiano nel mondo), gli italianismi più amati all’estero, la lingua degli emigrati e quella degli immigrati. Le conclusioni di questa indagine permettono di immaginare la sezione del MULTI dedicata allo spazio linguistico italiano come uno spazio digitale dialogico e inclusivo, costruito mettendo al centro il visitatore e i suoi interessi.

Abstract
For a multimedia museum of the Italian language. Starting with the visitor: an initial survey of interest in the Italian language space The article presents the first results of a survey about the interest of Italians in various linguistic aspects of the Italian language. The survey was conducted using a questionnaire, with a sample of about 1200 respondents. The aim of the study was to identify a list of attention-grabbing topics, in order to develop a section of the Multimedial Museum of the Italian Language (MULTI) dedicated to linguistics. The questionnaire, which consisted of different work phases (interviews with experts, pretest, final questionnaire, sampling and dissemination), was structured in order to conduct a descriptive analysis with statistical means. The data collected through the questionnaire identified the issues that aroused more or less interest among the target audience, highlighting the need for customized digital dissemination strategies according to visitors and topics. Some topics emerged as particularly attractive for the audience: in regards to the “inside” space, the most appreciated theme was the world of dialects (especially the literary and artistic production and the new uses of dialect); for the “external” space (that of Italian in the world), respondents regarded the “Italianisms”, the language of emigrants and that of immigrants, as the most interesting issues. The conclusions of this survey allow us to imagine the section of the MULTI dedicated to the linguistic space of Italian as a dialogic and inclusive one, which puts the visitor and his/her creativity and own interests at the core.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
