Parent Attitudes to Children's L1 Maintenance. A Cross-Sectional Study of Immigrant Groups in the Nordic Countries.
Holmen, Anne; And Others
This paper focuses on parents' attitudes about their children's maintenance of their native language (L1). It is part of an inter-nordic study of immigrant languages between generation one and generation two, that interviewed 276 parents of North American, Finnish, Turkish, and Vietnamese origin, residing in Denmark, Norway, Finland, and Sweden. Questions were about parents' attitudes to L1 maintenance by their children and second language acquisition and use. Tables show the results of the interviews, and a discussion focuses on why some of the results occurred. (AB)
