Description:
Sociolinguistic research on family multilingualism seeks to understand the dynamic interrelation between caregivers’ decision-making and practices with respect to language use in the family, child agency, child language acquisition, and institutional policies outside the home. The 2023 Winter School focuses on bi/multilingual families as a complex and dynamic space whose norms are informed both by family-internal factors and home-external affordances, including technological developments supporting digital communication, and constraints. Our aim is to address and provide a critical approach to multilingualism in diverse family types from various perspectives, examining how, and why, bi/multilingual families in diverse settings negotiate and/or navigate bi/multilingualism in the family. Additionally, we will explore multiple methodological lenses, including discourse analysis, interactional sociolinguistics, and ethnographic fieldwork, in researching family multilingualism. In this way, we aim to support PhD researchers with varied data, analytic methods, and interests.
