Language, Identity, and Community in a Multi-Language Context

霍莉·R·卡什曼博士(新汉普郡大学)将从事语言优势、维持和转换方面的研究。传统的语言选择研究主要依赖于以核心家庭为基础的语言和族群认同传播模式。相比之下，现金男的研究重点将放在那些具有强烈社区认同感但不符合核心家庭模式的人的语言和身份认同上。这项研究将在亚利桑那州凤凰城的西班牙语和英语使用者中进行。研究方法包括语篇和会话分析，通过正式访谈和参与者观察获得的材料。研究人员将邀请研究生和本科生以及社区成员参与研究，并将在传统的学术环境和出版场所之外传播研究结果。

Dr. Holly R. Cashman (University of New Hampshire) will undertake research on language dominance, maintenance, and shift. Traditional research on language choice relies primarily on a nuclear-family based model of language and ethnic identity transmission. In contrast, Cashman's research will focus on language and identity among people who have strong community identities that do not conform to the nuclear family model. The research will be carried out in Phoenix, Arizona, among speakers of Spanish and English. Research methods include discourse and conversation analysis of materials acquired through formal interviews and participant observation. The researcher will engage graduate and undergraduate students, as well as community members in the research, and will disseminate findings beyond the traditional academic settings and publication venues.
