This book examines the experiences of couples with different
language backgrounds and different cultural origins as they
negotiate love, partnership and parenting. It is based on the
author's doctoral research into the attitudes and experiences of
the English-speaking background (ESB) partners of
non-English-speaking background (NESB) migrants in Sydney,
Australia. In particular, it seeks to understand how these English
speakers negotiate being in a romantic relationship with someone
who has a different first language. It explores how those from an
ESB reconcile the negative perspectives of Anglophone culture
towards "other" languages, with their desire to be a good partner
who respects the linguistic differences in their relationship. The
book is organised into six chapters, which move from a focus on the
language of the individual, to the languages of the couple, and
then to the wider family. The main finding is that although ESB
partners had very different beliefs and attitudes towards language
learning to their migrant partners, they attempted to compensate
for these differences in various ways. It will be of particular
interest to students and scholars in the fields of language
education, minority languages, and language policy and planning.
