Shohamy, Elana
Elana Shohamy is an internationally recognized scholar in the study of language testing, language policy, immigration, and linguistic landscapes. Her research, writing, teaching, and consulting work over the last three decades have advanced our understanding of how language, testing, and public policy interact to produce differences in educational access and achievement across groups, as well as the roles of these forces in the negotiation of pow…
Framing bilingual parenting as market advantage
Little research has examined media dimensions of family language policy. This project addresses this gap by analysing marketing efforts targeted at media consumers seeking 'grassroots' advice on bilingual parenting. Here, we refer to 'grassroots media marketing' as purposeful attempts to target, inform or persuade a niche demographic with 'grassroots'-style media methods and tools. We did Google Searches to identify 40 high-profile corporate medi…
The neoliberal logic of state seals of biliteracy
State‐issued seals and certificates of biliteracy are increasingly common nationwide. Nevertheless, limited research to date has examined how this state legislation functions as language in education policy and the ideological foundations of these policies. Addressing this gap, the present paper examines state seals as an instance of neoliberal language education policy and addresses how the policy has been constructed in public discourse and int…
Heritage Languages and Language Policy
This entry provides an overview of heritage language (HL) theory and research as they connect with language policy. The first of four sections synthesizes and problematizes definitions of HLs in use in US and European contexts. Next, HL learner typologies are defined, including critical evaluation of current proficiency‐based HL learner identifications. Third, language policy efforts and issues in the United States are outlined, including the une…
Bi- and Multilingual Family Language Socialization
Language policy, multilingual encounters, and transnational families
The study of what has come to be known as family language policy has evolved and expanded significantly over the last hundred years, from its early beginnings in the diary studies of Ronjat and Leopold, to the interdisciplinary and transnational research found in this thematic issue of the Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development on ‘Multilingual Encounters in Transcultural Families’, edited by Elizabeth Lanza and Li Wei. This conclu…
Research Methodology in Second Language Studies
The field of second language studies is using increasingly sophisticated methodological approaches to address a growing number of urgent, real-world problems. These methodological developments bring both new challenges and opportunities. This article briefly reviews recent ontological and methodological debates in the field, then builds on these insights to consider some of the current dilemmas faced by researchers of second language teaching and…
Child Agency and Language Policy in Transnational Families
Study of family language policy unites research in child language acquisition and language policy to better understand how parents’ language decisions, practices and beliefs influence child outcomes (King, Fogle & Logan-Terry, 2008). Thus far, this work has focused on how family language policy shapes children’s language competencies, formal school success (e.g., Snow, 1990), and the future status of minority languages (e.g., Fishman, 1991), with…

Heritage Languages and Language Policy
The term heritage language (HL) was first used in the Canadian context to refer to any “language other than English and French,” and intended to reference the languages spoken by indigenous (First Nation) people or by immigrants (Cummins, 1991, pp. 601–2). Clyne (1991) modified the definition for the Australian context to include any language other than English (LOTE). US researchers and policy‐makers adopted this version in subsequent years.
Language problem or language conflict? Narratives of immigrant women’s experiences in the US
This article investigates how Latin American women who migrate to the US frame their language experiences through narratives told in sociolinguistic interviews. As narratives reflect and shape social realities and relationships, narrative analysis can illuminate how individuals position themselves relative to language obstacles and ideologies, thus providing insights into processes that are central to the migration experiences of millions of indi…

Language Policy and Latina Immigrants
This article examines how Spanish-speaking Latina (im)migrants position themselves relative to US language policies. Drawing from interviews with 15 Latin American women in the USA, we illustrate how understandings of language policy are constructed through individuals’ reports of everyday experiences and framed within the constraints of contemporary language politics and ideological debates. Building on recent shifts in language policy research …
Family Language Policy
This article describes the newly emerging field of family language policy, defined as explicit and overt planning in relation to language use within the home among family members, and provides an integrated overview of research on how languages are managed, learned, and negotiated within families. A comprehensive framework for understanding family language policy is sketched by bringing together two independent and currently disconnected fields o…
Introduction. Why a special issue about Quechua
Spanish diminutives in mother–child conversations
The present study examined gender and age patterns of diminutive use in conversations between 32 Spanish-speaking Peruvian mothers and their three- and five-year-old children. Results confirm previous findings concerning both parents' greater use of diminutives with younger children and children's early acquisition of this complex aspect of morphology. However, findings do not support previous studies on gender differences in parental use of dimi…
Language Planning and Policy in Ecuador
This monograph presents up-to-date information concerning language planning and policy in Ecuador, highlighting the country's cultural and linguistic diversity, historical context, current sociolinguistic situation and possible directions for the future. Taking into account Ecuador's particular sociopolitical conditions, it aims to provide a comprehensive review of language policies and planning, as well as educational policies and programmes inv…
Language Revitalization Processes and Prospects
This work explores educational and community efforts to revitalize the Quichua language in two indigenous Andean communities of southern Ecuador. Analyzing the linguistic, social, and cultural processes of positive language shift, this book contributes to our understanding of formal and informal educational efforts to revitalize threatened languages
Shaping the climate for language shift? English in Sweden's elite domains
This paper investigates how and to what degree English is used in specific elite domains in Sweden through analysis of (1) language requirements to participate in undergraduate and graduate programs at competitive institutions; and (2) language qualifications and language use patterns in elite professions. We find that English is used pervasively, but not exclusively. The paper also explores to what extent these language use patterns in elite dom…
Language Ideologies and Heritage Language Education
This paper explores the divergent Quichua language ideologies which exist among an indigenous group of the southern Ecuadorian Andes. Analysis of data from 51 interviews with indigenous highlanders reveals the presence of two conflicting Quichua language ideologies. Through discussion of these disparate ideologies, this paper contributes to our understanding of language attitudes and language behaviour in the face of language shift, and in additi…

Authenticity and Unification in Quechua Language Planning
Authenticity and Unification in Quechua Language Planning With more than ten million speakers and numerous local and regional varieties, the unification and standardization of Quechua/Quichua has been a complicated, politically charged, and lengthy process. In most Andean nations, great strides have been made towards unification of the language in recent decades. However, the process is far from complete, and multiple unresolved issues remain, at…
Language Revitalisation in the Andes
Quechua, often known as the language of the Incas, remains today a vital language with over 10 million speakers in several Andean republics. Nevertheless, census records and sociolinguistic studies document a continuous cross-generational shift from Quechua monolingualism to Spanish monolingualism in the latter half of the twentieth century, at both individual and community levels. An increasing awareness of the potential threat to the language h…
Languages in Contact and Contrast
The papers in this collection throw fresh light on the relation between language contact and contrastive linguistics. The book focuses equally on the mutual influence of linguistic systems in contact and on the language contrasts that govern the linguistic behaviour of the bilingual speaker
