“He Speaks Two Languages at the Same Time … So, Why Should It Be Sad?”—Dutch Multilingual Children’s Beliefs About Language Use and Language Mixing In- and Outside the Home... by Eva Knopp, Sterre Turling, Chantal van Dijk, Claire Goriot

“…Our findings indicate that the participating children experience being multilingual as normal and are not (yet) negatively affected in their attitudes despite their experience with a monolingual bias at school. Although no effects of home language prestige emerged, differences between children from specific home language communities suggest that myths about multilingual competence and code-mixing persist.…”
