“…Chomsky (1957, and subsequent work) follows this idea and develops a notion of an idealized native speaker with a perfect competence and infallible intuitions about the system of their native language; such intuitions constitute the ultimate source of data for linguists who try to discover the underlying abstract properties of a given language and, ultimately, language in general. These assumptions are standard in most theoretical work in linguistics although some scholars have also pointed out the need for a linguistic theory based on multilingual rather than monolingual norms (Ferguson 1983;Haugen 1950;Singh 1985Singh , 1990Singh , 1996Singh , 2010Stampe 1979).…”

What is your ‘first’ language in bilingual Canada? A study of language background profiling at publicly funded elementary schools across three provinces

Canada is a country with a complex linguistic and cultural landscape characterized by two official languages (English and French), a steady influx of immigrants, and a number of aboriginal communities. Within this rich local context, and in a broader global environment where bilingualism and multilingualism are increasingly recognized as a norm rather than an exception, I review language background profiling practices at publicly funded Canadian elementary schools. A sample of 96 school intake/registration forms was collected from school boards in Canada's three largest English-speaking provinces: Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia. An analysis of the data indicates a high degree of variability in terms of the number, type and combination patterns of the language background questions asked. While school boards recognize various aspects of sequential bilingualism and multilingualism, most registration forms do not allow explicitly for the possibility of a child having more than one first/native language (simultaneous bilingualism).A discussion of what I call chronological-nativist (i.e. focused on the notion of a person's first/native/mother language) and synchronicfunctional (i.e. focused on a person's current language abilities) approaches to language profiling provides further insights into some underlying assumptions held by provincial educational systems with regard to monolingual, bilingual and multilingual norms.
