Bilingualism in Minority Settings in Canada: Integration or Assimilation?
|
| Abstract |
The authors explore social psychological correlates of bilingualism in the Canadian context. First, they investigate the relation between language confidence and identity as moderated by ethnolinguistic vitality. Second, they examine whether bilinguals can be distinguished from predominantly unilingual participants on subjective vitality and language usage and evaluate the impact of ethnolinguistic vitality on these differences. Data from Statistics Canada collected among 7,377 minority Francophones outside of Quebec and minority Anglophones in Quebec were used for analysis. Their results show that language confidence is significantly related to levels of identity for all regions. Bilinguals are significantly distinct from predominantly monolingual participants on most factors for maintenance of identity. However, among all Francophone samples, bilinguals most resemble the French-dominant participants.
