N2  - "This book introduces the way languages are used in families under multilingual circumstances in Japan, namely Japanese-English interlingual families, and examines what factors influence their language choice, with the aim of arriving at a predictive model of language use. The data for analysis is derived from a questionnaire survey conducted with interlingual families and follow-up interviews with a small number of families drawn from the original sample. In light of these findings, the book also examines the 'one parent-one language' principle in relation to children's use of a minority language and suggests an alternative view, namely the principle of maximal engagement with the minority language. The book also proposes a taxonomy of interlingual family types and a typological model of language use, with the intention of providing researchers with a unifying framework for the study of bilingualism."--BOOK JACKET
