Focusing on an intergenerational sample of Spanish-English bilinguals in Los Angeles County, this study delves into the linguistic, cognitive, and social dynamics of language maintenance and the characteristics of language shift and loss. Carmen Silva-Corvalan employs a blend of sociolinguistic analysis, functional syntax, and discourse analysis to provide a comprehensive understanding of these processes, offering significant insights into bilingualism within a diverse cultural context.
