An increasingly important field of research within multilingualism
and sociolinguistics, Family Language Policy (FLP) investigates the
explicit and overt planning of language use within the home and
among family members. However the diverse range of different family
units and contexts around the globe necessitates a similarly
diverse range of research perspectives which are not yet
represented within the field. Tackling this problem head on, this
volume expands the scope of families in FLP research. Bringing
together contributors and case studies from every continent, this
essential reference broadens lines of inquiry by investigating
language practices and ideologies in previously under-researched
families. Seeking to better reflect contemporary influences on FLP
processes, chapters use innovative methodologies, including digital
ethnographies and autoethnography, to explore diverse family
configurations (adoptive, LGBTQ+, and single parent), modalities
(digital communication and signed languages), and speakers and
contexts (adult learners, Indigenous contexts, and new speakers).
Bringing to light the dynamic, fluid nature of family and kinship
as well as the important role that multilingualism plays in family
members' negotiation of power, agency, and identity construction,
Diversifying Family Language Policy is a state-of-the-art reference
to contemporary theoretical, methodological and ethical advances in
the field of family language policy.
