A long-term study of one trilingual family and how they negotiated
language development. This book is based on an eleven-year observation
of two children who were simultaneously exposed to three languages
from birth. It tells the story of two parents from different cultural,
linguistic, and ethnic-racial backgrounds who joined to raise their
two children with their heritage languages outside their native
countries. It also tells the children’s story and the way they
negotiated three cultures and languages and developed a trilingual
identity. It sheds light on how parental support contributed to the
children’s simultaneous acquisition of three languages in an
environment where the main input of the two heritage languages came
respectively from the father and from the mother. It addresses the
challenges and the unique language developmental characteristics of
the two children during their trilingual acquisition process.
