Bilingual Identity: Being and Becoming Bilingual

  • Chapter

Abstract

Exploring issues of identity can be extremely complex, and necessitate engagement with a wide range of different fields that have explored the notion of identity in different ways. Exploring prior work is needed in order to ascertain one’s own standpoint about what identity is, how it might be measured or captured, and why we might want to understand it in more depth. In this chapter I will clarify the position on identity and bilingualism that is being operationalized in this study. I will describe the framework for the study: The Bilingual Identity Negotiation Framework.

Notes

  1. 1.

    As the literature has shown, the conceptualisation of the term bilingual so that it incorporates two or more languages ensures that this framework encompasses multilingual identity negotiation in addition to bilingual identity negotiation.
