This article contributes to a dialogue between childhood studies and the sociolinguistic subfield ‘Family Language Policy’ (‘FLP’). The article argues that the two fields provide complementary vantage points for exploring child agency. It explains a revised version of a model I developed to conceptualise child agency in FLP, consisting of four intersecting dimensions: compliance regimes; linguistic norms; linguistic competence and generational positioning (Smith-Christmas, Handbook of home language maintenance and development. De Gruyter Mouton, pp. 218–235, 2020a). The article examines two conversational excerpts as a means to illustrating the dynamic and relational nature of child agency and how it is both shaped by as well as shapes interactional practices over time and space.

使用“家庭语言政策”的视角来探索儿童能动性的动态和关系性质

本文有助于儿童研究与社会语言学子领域“家庭语言政策”（“FLP”）之间的对话。文章认为，这两个领域为探索儿童能动性提供了互补的优势。它解释了我为在 FLP 中概念化儿童能动性而开发的模型的修订版，包括四个交叉维度：合规制度；语言规范；语言能力和代际定位（Smith-Christmas, Handbook of home language maintenance and development . De Gruyter Mouton, pp. 218–235, 2020a）。本文考察了两个对话摘录，以此来说明儿童能动性的动态和关系性质，以及它是如何被塑造和塑造的时间和空间上的互动实践。
