family is a social unit which has its norms for speaking, viewing,
acting, and believing, thus providing a cornerstone for language
socialisation and language development. This chapter begins with a brief
introduction to the theoretical conceptualisation of family language
policy (FLP) currently used by most researchers. It then provides a
discussion of the major contributions to the field by focusing on three
major themes: FLP and language-in-education policy; FLP and language
ideology; and linguistic practices and the processes of language change.
This discussion is followed by an overview of recent developments in
research methodology employed in the field. Finally, future directions
in research resulting from increasing transnational migration and
evolving political environments are outlined.</p></div><p class="gmail-keywords">
