This article examines linguistic socialisation and communicative practices in contemporary Spanish families during a child’s first two years of life. We focus on two families who worked towards additive bilingualism in their family communicative practices, with the goal of promoting the acquisition of more than one language early on in the children’s development. The two cases reflect non-conventional family projects, one family led by a single mother by choice and one by a lesbian couple. Our analysis focuses on three aspects: 1) the interactional and communicative ecologies that emerge as part of the linguistic decisions made by the mothers, focusing particularly on the maternal voicing of children’s ‘talk’; 2) how these ecologies develop over the first two years of children’s lives; 3) how these interactional dynamics intertwine with the linguistic and parenting ideologies of mothers. Our analysis contributes to unpacking how Family Language Policy operates during the early stages of children’s communicative development and shows how, in fact, family language planning practices and parental projects intertwine.

In this article, we analyse the language regimentation of multilingual repertoires and plurilingual practices of young people of Moroccan origin in three different areas of Spain – Barcelona, Galicia, and Madrid. By focusing on the family and the school as two highly interconnected settings (Heller, 2012) which have an impact on their socialisation trajectories and on their development of functional bi/multilingualism – and, thus, on their linguistic practices – we consider, on the one hand, how these young people position themselves regarding multilingualism and the conception of a local and transnational plurilingual speaker and, on the other, how they invest their linguistic repertoire in the transnational space or what Hornberger (2005) calls the ‘implementational spaces’ of multilingual practices. Following a sociolinguistic and discursive critical analysis of the data collected (ethnographic data, the results of several didactic activities, focus groups and interviews), the results point out how family and school discourses surrounding multilingualism contribute to maintaining a situation of multilingualism, which includes both the heritage languages and the institutional and national languages and varieties. Moreover, the results show the ways these plurilingual youth navigate this multilingualism but also how they reconstruct it by deploying hybrid and creative practices.

This article explores the language ideologies and language practices of a multilingual, high socioeconomic status family, resident in the United Kingdom, from a critical sociolinguistic perspective (Heller, Pietikäinen and Pujolar, 2018). Drawn from a larger, longitudinal, multi-sited ethnographic study, it focuses on a predominantly Russian/British family of high socioeconomic status. The study concentrates on their daily rituals. Socialization moments are revealed, and the mechanisms and underpinning ideologies are analysed, drawing upon the approach of Goffman (1956). It explores how their language ideologies and practices may be deemed constitutive of a neoliberal self (Urciuoli, 2008), and how they create and present a cosmopolitan class identity. It makes a methodological contribution by demonstrating how ethnographic participant observation is valuable in FLP research. Such an approach enables an understanding of which ideologies are actually enacted through which practices in the face of acceptance, resistance or conflicting ideologies from other family members, and the other constraints of daily life.
本文从批判的社会语言学角度探讨了居住在英国的一个多语种、高社会经济地位家庭的语言意识形态和语言实践(Heller, Pietikäinen and Pujolar, 2018)。它来自一个更大的、纵向的、多地点的民族志研究，主要关注一个主要是俄罗斯/英国的高社会经济地位家庭。这项研究集中在他们的日常仪式上。利用Goffman(1956)的方法，揭示了社会化时刻，分析了机制和基础意识形态。它探讨了他们的语言、意识形态和实践如何被视为新自由主义自我的组成部分(Urciuoli, 2008)，以及他们如何创造和呈现一种世界主义的阶级身份。它通过展示民族志参与者观察在FLP研究中的价值，做出了方法论上的贡献。这种方法使我们能够理解，面对其他家庭成员的接受、抵制或冲突的意识形态，以及日常生活的其他制约因素，哪些意识形态实际上是通过哪些实践来制定的。

The aim of this paper is to explore the value of Spanish through the study of the ideologies and subjectivities represented in the discursive practices of some transnational Latin American families that underwent processes of diaspora to Italy. In particular, the goal is to focus on their family language policies by exploring the relationship between linguistic uses, identities, and ideologies. In the current context of neoliberalism, many scholars have highlighted how language has become a commodity (Holborow, 2007; Block, Gray, and Holborow, 2012; Heller and Duchêne, 2012) or, in terms of Bourdieu (1991), a symbolic capital, i.e., a system of values that social actors associate with a particular linguistic use in a specific economic and political context, determined by certain power relations. In global contemporary diasporas, in line with the colonial era (Mignolo, 1992; Heller and McElhinny, 2017), the perceptual and evaluation schemes of linguistic practices continue to be strongly determined by the centre-periphery relationship. This same language regime is reflected in the social value of Spanish that emerges in the discursive practices of Hispanic families in Italy. The data, in effect, demonstrate a clear perceptual inequality between the Spanish of the diaspora, marginalised by its condition of minority language and delegitimised for representing a deviation from the monoglossic norm (Silverstein, 1996), and the central languages (‘standard’ varieties of Spanish and Italian), understood as convertible resources in the global linguistic market and more desirable in terms of social mobility.
本文的目的是通过研究一些拉丁美洲跨国家庭在意大利移民过程中的话语实践中所体现的意识形态和主体性，来探讨西班牙语的价值。特别是，我们的目标是通过探索语言使用、身份和意识形态之间的关系来关注他们的家庭语言政策。在当前的新自由主义背景下，许多学者都强调了语言如何成为一种商品(Holborow, 2007;Block, Gray, and Holborow, 2012;海勒(Heller and Duchêne, 2012)或布迪厄(Bourdieu, 1991)所说的象征性资本，即社会行动者在特定经济和政治背景下与特定语言使用相关联的价值体系，由特定的权力关系决定。在全球当代侨民中，与殖民时代一致(Mignolo, 1992;Heller和McElhinny, 2017)，语言实践的感知和评估方案继续受到中心-外围关系的强烈决定。同样的语言制度也反映在西班牙语的社会价值中，这种价值出现在意大利西班牙裔家庭的话语实践中。实际上，这些数据表明，散居海外的西班牙语与中心语言(西班牙语和意大利语的“标准”变体)之间存在明显的感知不平等，前者因其少数民族语言的状况而被边缘化，并因偏离单一语言规范而被剥夺合法性(Silverstein, 1996)，后者被理解为全球语言市场中的可转换资源，在社会流动性方面更可取。

This article adopts the critical and ethnographic language policy approach (McCarty, 2011; Johnson and Ricento, 2013) to unveil the family language policy adopted by first-and second-generation Romanian parents in a diasporic context, Castelló de la Plana, the capital city of the Castelló province (Spain). The study focuses particularly on parents’ language ideologies and practices regarding the acquisition and use of Spanish, Catalan, and Romanian. The analysis of parental policies is pursued through 15 semi-directed interviews about life experiences produced in ethnographic research. By drawing on biographical narratives, I examine in detail how parents ground their position regarding language choices, transmission, or interruption of the home language and how multilingualism is perceived and valued by different generations. I conclude that first- and second-generation migrant parents mobilise different language ideologies in relation to the use of the heritage language and the translingual practices they deploy. I also report on the tensions migrant families experiment regarding languages in this neoliberal economic governmentality (Martín Rojo, 2019) and how language policy at the family level sometimes supports and reproduces the institutional discourses and hegemonic nation states’ policies and at other times challenges them.
本文采用批判和民族志语言政策方法(McCarty, 2011;Johnson和Ricento, 2013)，揭示了第一代和第二代罗马尼亚父母在散居背景下采用的家庭语言政策，Castelló de la Plana, Castelló省的省会城市(西班牙)。该研究特别关注父母在西班牙语、加泰罗尼亚语和罗马尼亚语的习得和使用方面的语言意识形态和实践。对父母政策的分析是通过15个关于民族志研究中产生的生活经历的半定向访谈来进行的。通过传记叙事，我详细研究了父母如何在语言选择、传播或中断方面建立他们的立场，以及不同世代如何感知和重视多语言。我的结论是，第一代和第二代移民父母在使用传统语言和他们部署的翻译实践方面动员了不同的语言意识形态。我还报道了移民家庭在这种新自由主义经济治理中关于语言的紧张实验(Martín Rojo, 2019)，以及家庭层面的语言政策有时如何支持和再现制度话语和霸权民族国家的政策，有时又如何挑战它们。
