【摘要】 家庭语言政策与规划指的是在家庭内部,家庭成员对家庭语言使用和启蒙文化教育读写实践所做的公开的或者隐性的规划。在过去的几十年中,由于跨国迁移不断地深化,家庭语言政策与规划随之受到了研究者的广泛关注。与此同时,中国国内也在发生大规模的迁移,国内移民家庭逐渐被纳入了家庭语言政策与规划的研究范畴。由于中国是一个语言多样化的国家,拥有56个民族,近2000种语言或方言,国内移民家庭正面临着复杂的社会语言现实。鉴于这种复杂的社会语言环境,研究人员对中国家庭的语言政策进行了调查,发现家长的能动性是儿童双语或多语教育的决定性因素。但是,仅有少数研究探索了国内移民家庭中家长的能动性。因此,国内移民家庭中家长的能动性实践及其影响因素需要进一步调查。基于张晓兰2009年提出的,以及黄静和张晓兰2020年提出的家庭语言政策与规划研究框架,本研究试图回答以下问题:(1)国内移民家庭中家长的能动性实践有哪些?(2)影响国内移民家庭家长能动性的因素有哪些?本研究对四个现居南京的国内移民家庭进行了探究。从2020年9月到11月,研究者对家长进行了半结构化访谈,访谈每月一次,共计三轮。访谈主要收集了家庭基本信息和父母语言意识等相关信息。同时,研究者收集了家庭谈话的录音,录音每月一次,总计三轮,主要用于记录家庭语言实践。从2020年9月到12月,每两个月进行了一次家庭观察并做实地观察笔记,主要记录家庭语言学习资源,观察家庭语言活动和家长的语言管理实践。研究结果如下:1)四个移民家庭家长的能动性实践主要体现在三个方面,创设语言学习环境,提供语言学习资源和参与语言相关活动。2)四个国内移民家庭家长的能动性影响因素分别来自宏观,中观和微观三个层面。宏观层面因素主要包括政治因素,社会语言因素,社会因素和文化因素。中观层面因素主要包括学校,其他移民家长的经验,工作场所和社区。微观层面因素主要包括家庭的经济基础,家长相关因素以及儿童相关因素。除此之外,不同层面的因素相互关联,相互影响。基于以上研究结果,本研究指出国内移民家庭家长的能动性实践主要体现在创设语言环境,提供语言学习资源和参与语言相关活动三个方面。同时,家长的能动性受多层因素的影响,包括来自宏观,中观和微观的因素。除此之外,本研究也指出,随着儿童语言技能的提升,其能动性可能在家庭语言政策和规划中发挥重要作用。经验上,本研究丰富了对家长能动性实践的理解,发掘了更多影响家长能动性的因素,包括其他移民家长的经验,家长不同的方言背景和第一个孩子的教育背景。理论上,基于原有框架和研究结果,本研究提出了一个新的框架来分析家长能动性实践及其影响因素。

【Abstract】 Defined as explicit/overt and implicit/covert language planning in relation to language use and literacy practices within home domains and among family members,family language policy and planning(FLPP)has received great attention over the past few decades as transnational movement intensified.Likewise,massive internal migration is taking place in China,which has brought internal migrant families into this research scope.Internal migrant families are facing a complex sociolinguistic reality as China is a linguistic heterogeneous country with 56 ethnic groups who speak nearly 2000 Chinese language varieties or fangyans.Considering such a complex sociolinguistic environment,researchers have conducted investigation on FLPP among Chinese families and found out parental agency is the decisive factor in children’s bilingual or multilingual education.However,only a few studies probed into parental agency among internal migrant families.Therefore,parental agency practices combined with its affecting factors among internal migrant families need further investigation.Based on the theoretical frameworks of family language policy and planning proposed by Curdt-Christiansen(2009),and Huang and Curdt-Christiansen(2020),this study intends to answer the following questions:(1)What are the parental agency practices in internal migrant families?(2)What are the factors that affect parental agency in internal migrant families?Four internal migrant families in Nanjing participated in the study.Three rounds of semi-structured interviews were carried out among the parents once a month from September to November in 2020.This was intended to gather information of family profiles and language ideologies of the parents.Family talk recordings were collected once a month to capture language practices at home.Three rounds of recordings were collected in total.Family observation field notes were gathered once every two months from September to December in 2020.Two rounds of field notes were collected to record language resources at home and to depict language practices and management guided by parental agency.The research findings were presented as followed:1)Parental agency in the four internal migrant families in Nanjing were manifested in three aspects,namely,creation of language learning environment,investment in linguistic resources,and deliberate involvement of linguistic activities.2)Parental agency in the four internal migrant families was affected by macro,meso,and micro factors together.Marco factors included political factor,sociolinguistic factor,social factor,and cultural factor.Meso factors was composed of school,peer experience,workplace,and community.Micro factors referred to the factors that were related to family members,which involved parents-related factors,family economic status,and children-related factors.Children-related factors referred to first child’s educational background and children’s learning attitude.Moreover,factors at different levels were interrelated with each other.Based on the above results,this paper proposes that parental agency is displayed through creation of language environment,and provision of language recourses and involvement in language learning activities.Besides,parental agency is affected by multi-layered factors,which includes factors from macro,meso,and micro levels.Finally,this study proposes that child agency may also play an important role in family language policy and planning as their linguistic competence develops.Empirically,this study enriches the understanding of parental agency practices and unveils more possible factors that affect parental agency,which are parental peer experience,intermarriage of parents with different fangyans and first child’s education background.Theoretically,this study proposes a new framework that draws on existing studies and findings from this study to analyze parental agency practices and its affecting factors.
