Plurilinguism within the family, language acquisition problems

Andreinna Delgado Ricci    

Nowadays, languages of all kinds and origins are becoming a social requirement for different purposes. That phenomenon of globalisation, in which the whole world have shared and interact itself in order to increase human activity and interchange worldviews, products, ideas and, in general, culture, have promoted the expansion of plurilinguism. The plurilinguism is the use of three or more languages for a single speaker or a community. A clear reason why plurilinguism appears in children is when a couple, each of them native speakers of different languages, decide to establish themselves as a family in another country with a third different language. In that case, their children are going to experience the plurilinguism. Two mother tongues, belonging to the parents and a second language spoken in the environment they growing up.  

In the previous case exposed we can also find the interculturality between the people that belong to that nuclear family. Any language represents not only a group of signs we can decode and reproduce. It is also included the culture, which is, in the same way as the symbols and signs, a very important characteristic of a language.

Now, talking about the acquisition of three or more different languages at the same time in early childhood, in cases as the one presented before, there are some problems that can emerge in that process due to the quantity of grammatical systems, vocabulary, phonetic, among others, trying to be acquired for the child.

The purpose of my personal writing project is to describe and show to the reader some of the consequences of being exposed to the acquisition of multiple languages at the same time in the early childhood; how we can avoid the issues that appear in those cases and how we can promote the plurilinguism in the child, which is not considered something negative, without further language acquisition problems.
I'm going to support myself in academic articles related to the acquisition of several languages simultaneously among children of immigrant families and theory about the language acquisition process which is included in the field of psycholinguistics, branch of the linguistic that study the psychological and neurobiological factors that enable humans to acquire, use, comprehend and produce language, something I personally find very interesting and useful for my professional training as a future language teacher.
