The Status and Use of Spanish and English among Hispanic Youth in Dade County (Miami), Florida: A Sociolinguistic Study, 1989-1991.
Garcia, Ricardo L.; Diaz, Carlos F.
Language and Education, v6 n1 p13-32 1992
Results of a sociolinguistic analysis of bilingualism indicated a statistically significant difference in the amounts of English and Spanish used in two contexts: formal and familial settings. The data suggest that Spanish-English bilingualism is at a crossroads: youths are bilingual by grade 12 but appear to be shifting toward English as their primary language of communication.
