CONVENTION OF TYPOGRAPHY, TRANSCRIPTION, AND TRANSLATIONS
In the examples guoted, plain type is used to indicate American English
(unless indicated otherwise), bold italicized type is used to highlight code¬
switched instances. The original quotes are indicated with quotation marks,
and the English translations are either inserted in brackets below the original
quotes. The translations provided are my translations, and I left the non¬
standard grammatical forms unchanged. With regard to transcribing the
interviews, they have been transcribed with great detail since they are used
for the qualitative analysis. However, as the transcriptions are of informal,
semi-structured dinner conversations, words have been described as uttered
by the subjects, e.g. don’t, can’t, etc. Incomprehensible parts in the transcribed
text are marked with a capital ‘u’ letter in red.
