Language maintenance amongst the second generation
journal contribution
posted on 2017-05-04, 05:17 authored by Khoo, Siew-EanThe maintenance of community languages in the home varies greatly amongst the second-generation by ethnic origin. The shift towards English is greatest in families where one parent is Australian-born. However, in all communities there is a marked shift towards English amongst the second generation aged 25 or more. This implies a further substantial contraction in the maintenance of community languages in the third generation.
