Family language policy: Core issues of an emerging field*

چکیده
Research in the field of minority languagemaintenance and loss regards the family as the central driving force in children’s language socialization within the context of both minority and majority languages.

The integrated survey reviews research on the intra-family factors that can drive family language policy, the manner in which parents (mostly immigrants) and children cope with the minority-majority language reality, and the ways in which parents conduct their language policy at home.
