Abstract:

Human history has been characterised by the movement of peoples from onepart of the world to another. The current tendency towards globalisationhas accentuated this movement. While the proliferation of economic ties andthe speed of travel and communication have made the world a much smallerplace, any particular location within the world is now faced with anincreasing degree of contact between cultures and languages. Migratingpeople bring with them languages in various stages of planning, withdiffering status and with differing relationships to their personal andgroup identity.

The present study explores the ways in which three immigrant communitieshave adjusted and adapted to a new setting in Australia , and the ways inwhich the host community has contributed to this process. It focusesspecifically on the ways in which patterns of language use contribute tothe maintenance of a pre-migration identity and/or the negotiation of a newone. The languages chosen for this research are Macedonian,Filipino/Tagalog and Somali.
