Bilingualism as a first language in Japan
Language use in interlingual families
The present study investigates how languages are used in interlingual families, where two or more languages are involved. In analyzing data collected from two different groups of interlingual families, Japanese-Filipino (J-Fi) and Japanese-English (J-E) families, some intriguing group differences are found: the J-Fi families use the societal language much more than the J-E families do; and the J-Fi families employ, either exclusively or complemen…
What Makes Who Choose What Languages to Whom
This paper examines the language use of a small group of interlingual families of a Japanese parent and a Filipino parent with their offspring living in Japan and qualitatively explores possible explanations for their particular language use. Although the data collected from the subject group are limited, the data analysis does reveal some interesting features regarding language use among the family members: a less frequent use of the Filipino pa…
Language Use in Families with Parents of Different Native Languages
Cross-native/community language (CNCL) families are defined as those in which the parents have different native languages, one of which is the major language of the community. The present study compares how bilingualism is perceived and how languages are used in two different groups of CNCL families: Japanese-non-English CNCL families and Japanese-English CNCL families. An analysis of the data collected via a questionnaire survey found some diffe…
Language Use in Interlingual Familes
This book introduces the way languages are used in Japanese-English interlingual families in Japan and explains what factors influence their language choice, with the aim of arriving at a predictive model of language use. It also proposes a taxonomy of interlingual family types and a typological model of language use.
Bilingualism in international families
This paper discusses patterns of language use in international families where the native language of one parent is Japanese and the other English. First, the demographic and linguistic background of international families as a whole in Japan is briefly introduced. Then, using data from some small‐scale surveys of international families, patterns of language use among family members, such as those between spouses, between parents and their childre…
Connotative differences between foreign and Japanese English teachers in Japan
This paper describes a 1986 study of differences in the connotative level of meaning. A three‐page survey was devised and used to sample populations of foreign and Japanese English teachers in the Kansai area. Statistically significant differences were found between the two subject groups. Analyses of the differences indicate a potentially fruitful area for further research
