IMMIGRANT WOMEN FICTION: SELF-IDENTIFICATION AND TRANSLANGUAGING AS EVERYDAY PRACTICES

Authors

Abstract

Exploring themes such as cultural identity, language diversity, and transnational perspectives, this article examines the linguistic practices of Russophone émigré women in literary works and raises questions about how these women express themselves, the cultural influences on their language use, and the intersection of language with gender and migration. The research aims to understand the role of language in conveying experiences and perspectives gathered abroad and demonstrates how Russophone women describe their linguistic environment and their integration into a new reality.
