In this study the authors use qualitative and quantitative research methods to help identify the cultural factors that influence the usage of household French by three French/English bilingual children in Louisiana. Using 24 months of weekly tape recordings of spontaneous dinnertime conversation, a ratio of French to English utterances is calculated, and correlated with linguistically significant events documented in field notes. The findings indicate that increased French communication is closely associated with proximate immersion in French-speaking situations outside of the home, as well as with school French immersion. Increased English communication is associated with increased exposure to English-only situations outside the home, removal from school French immersion, and increased exposure to American television within the home.
