Abstract

This study looks at language shift and language maintenance as they pertain to Farsi-English speakers in Portland, Oregon. Using five informal interviews, insights into language use are provided, and the motivation behind language choices is explored. Using both first-generation and second-generation participants of immigrant families, a multi-faceted and inter-generational perspective on language shift is provided.
