inter- and intra-generational dynamics of multilingualism

Poster

Unlike many communities where first language (L1) speakers are often treated as a relatively homogeneous baseline, contact settings such as Singapore demonstrate that L1 status does not guarantee uniformity. Even among native speakers, substantial variation arises from differences in language experience, ethnic orientation, and multilingual exposure, resulting in considerable between speaker...

inter- and intra-generational dynamics of multilingualism

Poster

Discrimination manifests in various forms, including prejudice based on accent (Barrett et al., 2022). To counter such biases in the context of the English language, English-language curricula typically emphasize intercultural communicative competence (Freitag-Hild, 2018). However, this curricular goal often contrasts with a classroom reality in Expanding Circle contexts, in which only...

Drawing on mixed-methods data collected across three institutional sites in Central Massachusetts from October 2022 to December...

inter- and intra-generational dynamics of multilingualism

Poster

The last four decades saw a theoretical shift from a monolingual view of bilingualism to a multilingual one (Grosjean, 1985; Cook, 2002); however, most structure-focused investigations of multilingual speech behaviours are still rooted in monolingual view. The present study aims to explore the pragmatic and structural features of cross-linguistic influences (CLI)—code-switching and transfer—in...

40. Qualitative Shifts in Learner English: A Longitudinal Analysis of Lexical Transfer

Lexical transfer has been an active area of research over the past several decades (e.g., Fuster & Neuser 2021; Jarvis & Pavlenko 2008; Odlin 2013; Puig-Mayenco et al. 2020; Ringbom 1987). Linguists have investigated the distinction between form-based and meaning-based categories of lexical cross-linguistic influence (e.g., Agustín-Llach 2019; Bardel 2015; Bardel & Lindqvist 2007; Dewaele...
