The following paper analyses child language socialization in a multilingual transnational family from the perspective of the emerging concept of family language policy (FLP). The central assumption of FLP is the crucial role of parents’ language ideologies in their children’s language socialization and construction of their widely-understood identity. The participants of the undertaken case study were three members of a Polish-Japanese family residing in the UK. The inquiry was based on a series of semi-structured interviews with individual family members and cyclical observation of the whole family over the period of 13 months. The results showed certain discrepancies between the language ideologies and practices of the parents, as well as difficulties in managing the family’s language policy that was to a large extent shaped by the child’s individual preferences and educational needs, often irrespective of the parents’ plans or intentions. Generally, the study reported essential difficulties in maintaining the child’s multilingualism due to a limited use of the minority languages (Japanese and Polish) at the cost of the majority language (English).

Artykuł został poświęcony tematyce rodzinnej polityki językowej i wychowaniu dziecka dwujęzycznego. W ostatnich latach oba zagadnienia stały się przedmiotem badań socjolingwistycznych. Z wykorzystaniem metodologii teorii ugruntowanej przeanalizowano wywiady z 20 zamieszkałymi w Ratyzbonie polskojęzycznymi matkami nastolatków urodzonych w Niemczech lub wychowujących się tam od wieku niemowlęcego. Uzyskano informacje na temat rodzicielskich strategii wychowania w rodzinie dwujęzycznej w warunkach rozproszonej emigracji. Kluczowym aspektem badania było wskazanie relacji między aksjologicznymi postawami wobec wychowania a postawami konatywnymi wobec przekazywania języka polskiego. W tym celu przedstawiono typologie obu rodzajów postaw rodzicielskich. Rezultaty wskazują, że wybór języka niemieckiego jako języka komunikacji rodzica z dzieckiem wynika z podporządkowania się presji społecznej lub potrzeby podniesienia efektywności komunikacji. Na koniec omówiono kwestie związane z międzypokoleniowym przekazywaniem języka polskiego na tle państwowej polityki edukacyjnej.

The study is rooted in the recognition that while multilingual children are frequently the object of sociolinguistic studies, the parenting of multilinguals has not yet received the attention it deserves in its own right. We obtained an account of multilingual parenting under conditions of dispersed migration using inductive methodology to analyse interviews conducted with 20 mothers of teenagers with a Polish family background living in Regensburg, Germany since birth or infancy. The article presents a typology of the parents’ axiological attitudes to parenting, involving the relative primacy of values, such as child autonomy, child security, parent-child relations, the nation, and extended family that affect the decision of whether and to what extent the Polish language is being passed on to their children. This is followed by a related typology of conative attitudes to its intergenerational transmission. The latter does not stop at the behavioural aspects, i.e. the extent to which Polish is cultivated in interactions with the child, but also indicates the dichotomous motivations for suppressing or marginalizing Polish – submission to social pressure or communicative advantages. The key aspect of the study pertains to the relationships between the axiological attitudes to parenting and the conative attitudes towards the intergenerational transmission of Polish. Finally, it is indicated that the decision to stop using the minority language in parent–child communication, while controversial and much criticised, may be a rational response to the social risks as perceived by the parents.
