Annotation

This paper examines language socialization patterns and “one-parent, one-language” family language policy negotiations in parent–child interactions in a Persian-Kurdish family residing in Sweden. It is claimed that inquiry of child agency and of parental efforts to mold children’s heritage language use, can offer important insights into language maintenance conditions.
