Jiazhou Yao; Shuaiying Pan; Xiaohua Zhang; Peng Nie – Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 2024
Recent linguistic landscape (LL) research has witnessed a change in focus to untypical, peripheral and fluid signs. Compared to typical (or permanent, fixed, etc.) signs which tend to be subject to strong policy intervention, language use on untypical signs is often more autonomous, thus could better reflect the "de facto" language…

Alexandra S. Dylman; Ingrid Zakrisson – Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 2025

Across two experiments, we attempted to investigate the effect of language and culture separately on how bilingual speakers rate…

The Role of English in South African Multilinguals' Linguistic Repertoires: A Cluster-Analytic Study
Robyn Berghoff – Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 2024
A substantial body of research has examined the role of English in South Africans' linguistic repertoires.

At the same time, the role of English in the repertoires of L1 English speakers…

This is the first large-scale study of resources as a form of "language management" -- that is, a way of influencing children's language practices. We introduce the distinction between child-directed resources (i.e. those providing parents with opportunities to engage with their children in the languages they are transmitting) and…

Charamba, Erasmos – Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 2022
In spite of the fact that increased transnational flows of people have altered the social, cultural, and linguistic landscape, education in Zimbabwe still follows a monolingual trajectory.

Jang, Eunjee; Brutt-Griffler, Janina – Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 2019
In a nation where monolingualism predominates, heritage language (HL) has been downplayed as less important in educational contexts in the U.S. Disproportionately little attention has been given to the role of HL in language minority (LM) students' attendance to postsecondary education (PSE) (cf. Brutt-Griffler, Janina, and Manka Varghese, eds.…
