Abstract

This reflection on the talk of Emilian migrants in US coal mines at the end of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries aims to highlight their mix of dialects in places of origin, an approximate Italian language, and what languages of immigration places. The paper focuses on the writing of Antenore Quartaroli, a young miner who in 1907 tells a brochure about a tragic mining incident in Illinois.
