초록
This study aimed to identify the linguistic dynamics within bicultural families residing in South Korea, a historically and linguistically homogeneous society. It also explores how non-Korean parents negotiate language use and manage bilingualism with their children and examines whether the individual backgrounds of non-Korean parents influence language practices with their children in the unique linguistic environments of their homes. Survey data from 130 non-Korean parents with diverse linguistic backgrounds and cultural identities collected as part of the author’s larger doctoral research project were analysed. The study employed quantitative data analysis via a cross-sectional approach to simultaneously examine relationships between variables among a diverse group of participants. The findings revealed that most non-Korean parents in this study communicated predominantly in Korean with their children, even at home in their comfort zone, regardless of personal variables. Additionally, non-Korean parents’ backgrounds appeared to be independent of their language choices. They used Korean alone rather than ethnic heritage languages. These findings suggest that stakeholders should consider factors beyond the individual backgrounds of non-Korean parents when developing support and resources for heritage language maintenance in bicultural children. Exploring other factors influencing the language choices of non-Korean parents in their homes and communities is crucial. This study provides valuable insights into the intricate processes of linguistic decision-making in a bicultural context. Moreover, it underscores the significant impact that stakeholders can have by actively promoting ethnic heritage languages. Such support can be essential for cultural negotiations and identity formation among non-Korean parents and their children in mainstream society.
Abstract
This study aimed to identify the linguistic dynamics within bicultural families residing in South Korea, a historically and linguistically homogeneous society. It also explores how non-Korean parents negotiate language use and manage bilingualism with their children and examines whether the individual backgrounds of non-Korean parents influence language practices with their children in the unique linguistic environments of their homes. Survey data from 130 non-Korean parents with diverse linguistic backgrounds and cultural identities collected as part of the author’s larger doctoral research project were analysed. The study employed quantitative data analysis via a cross-sectional approach to simultaneously examine relationships between variables among a diverse group of participants. The findings revealed that most non-Korean parents in this study communicated predominantly in Korean with their children, even at home in their comfort zone, regardless of personal variables. Additionally, non-Korean parents’ backgrounds appeared to be independent of their language choices. They used Korean alone rather than ethnic heritage languages. These findings suggest that stakeholders should consider factors beyond the individual backgrounds of non-Korean parents when developing support and resources for heritage language maintenance in bicultural children. Exploring other factors influencing the language choices of non-Korean parents in their homes and communities is crucial. This study provides valuable insights into the intricate processes of linguistic decision-making in a bicultural context. Moreover, it underscores the significant impact that stakeholders can have by actively promoting ethnic heritage languages. Such support can be essential for cultural negotiations and identity formation among non-Korean parents and their children in mainstream society.
