Abstract:

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.
