Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This insightful book is a comprehensive study on the influence of foreign languages within American homes. Through a detailed analysis of data collected from school children whose parents were born outside of the US, the author presents a thought-provoking exploration of language retention and assimilation. The study reveals that despite the common assumption that foreign-born parents quickly adopt English in their homes, a significant number continue to use their native languages, even after decades of living in America. The author delves into the reasons behind this phenomenon, examining the impact of factors such as social and cultural ties, educational opportunities, and the general environment. This book sheds light on the complex dynamics of language acquisition and assimilation, offering valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities faced by immigrant families as they navigate their new environment.
