The this study will analyze the discursive rules for language negotiating in a multilingual home. Seeing as research on language negotiation within multilingual groups has never been researched in terms of domestic contexts, this research aims to add to the discussion that has been mostly concerned with business situations.
The participants for this study will be members of my own family, which would include a mother, a father, brother, and two sisters. The father speaks Portuguese and has limited English proficiency; the mother is fluent in in Portuguese and proficient in English and Spanish, and speaks some French as well; the eldest sister is fluent in English and Portuguese, proficient in Spanish and French, and have limited proficiency in Japanese; the brother and youngest sister are fluent in English and the youngest sister has better language profienceny in Portuguese than the brother. The household was chosen because they predominantly speak two languages within the household.
The results of this study will be kept confidential; none of the participants will have information that will identify them. The information will be collected in two group interviews. With the permission of the participants, the interview will be recorded, although if the participant is not comfortable with that, notes will be taken to gather the information as best as possible.
Only the members of my ENG 3029 research course will see the results of this study. The results of this study may be published in a research journal.
