Abstract:

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.
