This study investigated how individuals residing in non-native language contexts negotiate their identity, understood here as a semiotic effect of narrative processes aimed at organizing world experiences and achieving recognizability within a shared symbolic field. Grounded in semiotic-cultural psychology, this study analyzes the trajectories of four participants undergoing migratory processes who utilize a non-native language in their daily lives. This is a qualitative study based...
