Cover Story: We investigated the attitudes and beliefs of 26 multilinguals from the Netherlands. Children (age 8–12) indicated how a multilingual alter-ego felt across different multilingual language use scenarios with parents, friends or teachers and why. Children mostly associated neutral or positive feelings with using Dutch and their home language across scenarios. Attitudes to mixing were slightly less positive. Qualitative analyses of explanations indicated that children are aware of their own and their interlocutors’ abilities and expectations regarding multilingual language use and, less so, language use conventions across contexts. No consistent effects of home language prestige emerged. Our findings indicate that children view being multilingual as normal and are not negatively affected in their beliefs despite a monolingual bias at school. View this paper
