Immigrants in Québec: Toward an Explanation of How Multiple and Potentially Conflictual Linguistic Identities Become Integrated
|
| Abstract |
The authors apply a theoretical model to the understand how a new linguistic identity becomes integrated in Quebec immigrants’ self-concept. They point out that while intergroup theories have addressed the situational changes in social identities, the longer-term processes underlying developmental changes in identities and their integration within the self remain to be identified. Relying on developmental and social cognitive principles, the authors explain the specific processes by which a new linguistic identity develops and becomes integrated within the self over time. They focus on the particular situation of new immigrants in Quebec who need to integrate new linguistic identities (French and/or English). The authors discuss the social factors that facilitate versus impede these change processes and the consequences associated with the integration of a newlinguistic identity.
