A Case Study on the Code-switching and Bilingual Maintenance from the Daily Dialogues of a Chinese Bilingual

本文探讨如何从双语儿童的语码转换中看双语的保持和语言替代。通过对一个双语儿童的观察和记录发现,尽管孩子的父母都能说英语,但在家庭日常对话中,如果父母使用汉语,孩子的汉语使用量将急剧增加,而且孩子在语言选择上有"偏好"现象。结合其他分析,3岁后,汉语逐渐大量进入孩子的世界,严重威胁着双语保持,因此家庭是双语保持的出发点,也是我国语言环境下双语保持的最重要的因素。

This paper explores how to maintain kid＇ s bilingualism from the analysis of the conversions of bilingual child. According to the observation and record of a bilingual child, although parents can speak English in daily conversation, the child＇ s Chinese usage will increase dramatically if the parents use Chinese and the children has a preference in the language choice. Combined with other analysis, Chinese language gradually comes into the world of children after 3 years of age, and a serious threat to bilingualism is formed. We believe that the family is not only the starting point for bilingualism, but also the most important factor to be bilingual in our language environment.
