In multilingual families, sustaining home languages is increasingly challenged by digitalization and evolving communication patterns. This study proposes a new model of masspersonal communication to analyze how families maintain their native languages in the face of modern communication dynamics.
The research highlights the complexities of language maintenance, emphasizing the role of social interactions and emotional connections in fostering a multilingual environment. As digital platforms become integral to daily communication, they can both support and hinder the use of home languages. The model aims to provide insights into how families negotiate their linguistic identities while adapting to the pervasive influence of technology.
By examining the interplay between social, affective, and digital factors, the study offers a comprehensive framework for understanding the challenges and strategies involved in home language maintenance. This approach not only sheds light on the linguistic practices within families but also underscores the significance of preserving cultural heritage in an increasingly interconnected world.
