In the process of language shift from the immigrant languages to English, everyday communication within the family can become increasingly problematic due to strong divergences in the linguistic competences of the older and the younger generations. This article explores the process of language mediation between different generations, as it occurs within a Sicilian-Australian family belonging to the last wave of Italian mass immigration to Australia Through a corpus of spontaneous conversations, the study focuses on the role played by a second generation woman as a mediator within her family. The linguistic analysis shows that, in order to overcome communication breakdown, she makes full use of her competence in all three languages: Italian, Sicilian and English, and employs codeswitching extensively as a conversational strategy to accommodate participants with different language abilities. Furthermore, while she maintains Dialect as the language of the most inner family circle, she shifts to Italian as the more ‘learneable’ language that can contribute to cohesion in the extended family.

Camilo José Cela é considerado um dos escritores renovadores da literatura espanhola do século XX. Sua obra inova e experimenta formas e conteúdos enfatizando imagens grotescas e violentas que representam bem o contexto da Guerra Civil espanhola e suas consequências para a população. Tendo um complexo posicionamento entre a aceitação e a oposição ao governo ditatorial franquista, sua escrita se caracteriza por um realismo brutal que, literariamente, adquire o termo de “tremendismo”. O conjunto de sua obra levou-o a ganhar o Premio Nobel de literatura, tendo destaque as obras La familia de Pascual Duarte e La Colmena. Assim, este estudo procura engendrar, sucintamente, uma discussão acerca desses textos de Cela tendo em conta o esfacelamento do ser humano diante do conturbado contexto social, aspectos que vários escritores se sentiram no compromisso de demonstrar através da arte.
