Abstract

This chapter presents each of the six case studies in turn. Every case study report starts with a description of family’s language practices, parental language management style and methods, and parental language ideologies. In addition to these three FLP elements, I include the parents’ perception of their children’s language attitudes and the children’s attitudes towards the minority language and towards parental language management style.
