Applying critical kinship perspectives to the study of multilingual
families, this book foregrounds family formation processes, gender,
and sexuality in examinations of language use. Focusing on
historically marginalized families (such as single parent,
adoptive, and LGBTQ+), the analyses draw on data from private and
public spheres including interviews and recorded interactions in
homes, as well as memoirs, documentaries, news media, and even
comedy. Lyn Wright addresses questions such as why single parents
might be better at raising bilingual children, how multilingualism
plays a role in constructing shared histories in adoptive families,
and what translingual resources allow LGBTQ+ families to negotiate
gender roles and family relationships. In addition, she examines
the construction of monolingual, nuclear family norms in public
discourse that potentially constrain families' everyday
multilingual identities. Integrating related fields of family
discourse, family language socialization, and family language
policy unifies ways of understanding the intersections of kinship
and language. The analyses in this book provide insight into
multilingual family experiences, children's language development,
and societal level language maintenance and shift.
