This book explores young children's language acquisition in
multilingual households through an original longitudinal study of
the author's own children and interviews with members of other
Korean-English families. The study investigates how multilingual
children not only acquire multiple languages (verbal communication)
but also acquire multiple strategies of non-verbal communication.
In the process, it is also revealed that parents learn from
children, collaboratively shaping the language of their family
together in a manner that is between and beyond languages and
cultures. The book explores the different types and frequency of
non-verbal behaviours acquired by multilingual children and reveals
how multilingual families use a range of multimodal resources to
communicate effectively in a way that creates solidarity. The
results of this longitudinal study are discussed within the
paradigm of translanguaging and provide insight into an
underrepresented multilingual population. With accompanying online
videos, this book offers rich multimodal family interaction data
for students and researchers interested in multilingualism, family
language practices, and first and second language acquisition.
