Abstract
In this paper we will refer mainly to the LLP project BRIDGE-IT (510101-LLP-1-2010-1-IT-GRUNDTVIG-GMP - http://bridge-it.communicationproject.eu) coordinated by the Author for the University of Perugia. The acronym stands for “Be Relevant to Intercultural Diversity Generation in Europe – Integration Team”. The project tackles intercultural communication problems between civil servants and migrants in bureaucratic-institutional settings of ‘first-impact’ situations in particular related to forms to be filled and service interactions. In the present paper we show some problematic terms identified in the Schengen visa application form, comparing the so-called “harmonised” Schengen visa application form and its German counterpart used in Germany and Austria.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
