Abstract:

This book explores young children's language acquisition in multilingual
households through an original longitudinal study of the author's own children
and interviews with members of other Korean-English families. The study
investigates how multilingual children not only acquire multiple languages
(verbal communication) but also acquire multiple strategies of non-verbal
communication. In the process, it is also revealed that parents learn from
children, collaboratively shaping the language of their family together in a
manner that is between and beyond languages and cultures. The book explores
the different types and frequency of non-verbal behaviours acquired by
multilingual children and reveals how multilingual families use a range of
multimodal resources to communicate effectively in a way that creates
solidarity. The results of this longitudinal study are discussed within the
paradigm of translanguaging and provide insight into an underrepresented
multilingual population. With accompanying online videos, this book offers
rich multimodal family interaction data for students and researchers
interested in multilingualism, family language practices, and first and second
language acquisition.
