Abstract:

Translanguaging refers to the act of multilinguals drawing from their full linguistic repertoire of all their languages without being limited to the rules of any one language (Aiseng, 2022; Otheguy et al., 2015), allowing the speakers to maximise their communicative potentials by applying various linguistic features to convey different meanings or participate in different linguistic circumstances (An, 2022). In the context of Singapore, the multitude of languages spoken allow Singaporean multilinguals to perform translanguaging (An, 2022), done so particularly through Singlish (Lee & Wei, 2020). For English-Mandarin Singapore bilinguals, their language repertoire consists of two different systems of syntax for use – the subject-predicate structure predominant in English (LaPolla, 2009), and the topic-comment structure common in Mandarin Chinese (Shi, 2000). In this present study, we are interested in investigating how English-Mandarin bilingual parents may vary in the construction of their sentence structures when translanguaging in interactions with their children. <br><br> Preregistration for Final Year Project in Psychology at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore This version includes an update to the preregistered analysis plan arising from pilot coding of a small sample of the full corpus (less than 10%) and prior to accessing the full collection of transcriptions. This version also includes the current coding scheme developed from the preliminary coding exercise.
