Language maintenance and shift in the Danish community in Melbourne
This article focuses on the level of maintenance of Danish in the Danish community of Melbourne and is based on 34 case studies drawn from a total of 89 interviews with people of Danish ethnic background carried out by Professor Bent Søndergaard in 1994.

Problems of Pedagogical Continuity Within a Minority
The German minority in Denmark has its own highly esteemed private kindergartens and schools, but there is one major problem that this article discusses. The kindergartens are very popular and therefore they attract many children, not only those of endogamous couples but also those of exogamous and majority couples. The German schools do not enjoy the same popularity, even if there are no pedagogical reasons for this. Consequently, only some of t…
Switching between seven codes within one family—a linguistic resource
Until now the extensive exploration of code‐switching within multilingual research has focused on this phenomenon in idiolects or sociolects. In this paper, however, it is analysed as part of a ‘familylect’, e.g. code‐switching is described as it occurs in the spoken language of a multilingual family with four members. Seven different language codes are involved, namely three languages in Scandinavia (Danish, Finnish, Swedish), two dialectal Dani…

Pedagogical problems and symbolic values in the language curriculum ‐ the case of the German minority in Denmark
The German minority schools in Denmark form a separate system within the Danish legislation on private schools. Their curriculum, overt and hidden, is a combination of Danish and German influences, and the schools have a unique minority character. German is the language of instruction but pupils are also expected to attain a high degree of proficiency in Danish, as citizens of the Danish state. This poses policy problems for the education authori…
Decline and fall of an individual bilingualism
It is well known that in the bilingual upbringing of a child the rule "one person—one language” plays an important role. However, the descriptions of this subject are often simplified, as if the observation of this rule will automatically result in a linguistic success. This “Case Study” is an example that great internal and/or external difficulties can prevent the development of the bilingualism of a child
