(Languages of the world, 59).Contributions partly in French, partly in English. - New price at the publisher: € 162.80 - - Emerging as an important field in the 21st century, family language policy brings forth core challenges of language ideologies, practices, maintenance, shifts, losses and transmission at the micro-level unit of the society. This special, first-ever bilingual French-English volume illustrates a range of issues exploring immigrant and transnational families facing the survival of their own ancestral language in the face of the hegemony of the language of their host country. The comprehensive introduction puts at centre-stage the studies made in this field in France and discusses recent scholarship. In its thirteen chapters, contributors have stressed crucial aspects of the dynamics of language interplay, with illuminating case studies from around the world in the field of family language policy.
