The goal of this paper is to explore three trilinguals’ language preferences and language patterns living in Queensland and to find out if and why the same linguistic phenomenon occurs in a different dominant culture and language setting from the Tokyoites. I will first explore the two communities’ linguistic ethnography in Brisbane and then move on the case study. This research was based on fieldwork conducted in 2018 in Queensland, Australia because (a) English is the dominant first language (L1) and (b) Japanese- and Spanish-speakers have roughly the same population density (0.4%).}, pages = {9--18}, title = {A Case Study in Language Preference of Three Trilinguals in Japanese, English and Spanish Living in Brisbane}, volume = {36}, year = {2021} }
