  In a bilingual society, each individual within the family domain has his or her own linguistic practices and beliefs about language choice. Therefore, language practices inside family can be considered as an important marker of intergenerational transmission of a minoritized language such as Galician. The primary focus of this study is to investigate how individual linguistic practices and ideologies of the pro-Galician parents act as ‘visible’ and/or ‘invisible’ language planning measures at home influencing their children’s language learning. Drawing from multiple ethnographic research methods including observational fieldnotes, in-depth fieldwork interviews from Santiago de Compostela and Bertamiráns and two focus groups in Santiago de Compostela and Vigo with several Galician parents, this paper demonstrates that in Galicia’s language shift-induced shrinking orthodox native speaker pool, pro-Galician parents can play an important role in the language revitalisation process. The paper also endeavours to ascertain whether these parents can restore intergenerational transmission in a Castilian dominated landscape and if their microcosmic interrogation of the dominant discourse could lead to bottom-up language policies of resistance at the grassroots level. In this regard, this article seeks to reevaluate sociolinguistic concepts such as family language policy and their immediate impact on home language planning and management decisions what these parents use to maintain the intergenerational transmission of Galician.

  Nunha sociedade bilingüe cada individuo adulto ten as súas propias prácticas lingüísticas e crenzas sobre a elección do idioma dentro da familia; polo tanto, as prácticas lingüísticas no ámbito familiar son sumamente importantes para entender o proceso de transmisión interxeracional dunha lingua desfavorecida. O principal obxectivo deste traballo é investigar as estratexias para a transmisión interxeracional do galego no contexto familiar dos hábitats urbano e peri-urbano. Cun enfoque etnográfico, analizarase a axencia dos proxenitores pro-galego que, a través das súas crenzas e prácticas lingüísticas individuais, desempeñan un papel relevante na revitalización e mantemento da lingua fóra da escola, concretamente na familia. Para este estudo entrevistáronse proxenitores que pasaron polo sistema educativo de Galicia a partir de 1975 e viviron as primeiras políticas lingüísticas da Autonomía. A través de datos etnográficos, analízanse notas de campo e observacións, entrevistas semi-estruturadas cos proxenitores de Santiago de Compostela e Bertamiráns e dous grupos de discusión en Vigo e Santiago. Neste estudo tamén se propón unha aproximación de conceptos sociolingüísticos como política lingüística familiar e os seus efectos inmediatos na práctica lingüística a nivel micro, a planificación das linguas na familia e as estratexias que os proxenitores utilizan para transmitir a lingua galega.
