Community Language Resources in Dual Language Schooling.
Smith, Patrick, H.
Bilingual Research Journal, v25 n3 p375-404 Sum 2001
A study examined minority-language use at a Tucson (Arizona) dual-language school and shifting patterns of language dominance in the surrounding Mexican American neighborhood. The minority-language resources most immediately available--held by fluent bilingual elders and recent Mexican immigrants--were less used than those of majority-language parents and elite bilinguals.
