The purpose of this study was to illuminate and describe the central components of the identify shift phenomenon to assist in forming a foundation for developing comprehensive theories of identity shift by MLUs. The research evaluated the effects of learning/using multiple languages on identity from a content analysis viewpoint with a phenomenological orientation. Identity is defined as the connectedness of the person to the experiences, objects, or thoughts being communicated and is associated with social practices and interactions tied to processes linked to and separated from other identified groups. The study involved 22 women and 2 men who described their experiences learning and using different languages.

520 $a The purpose of this study was to illuminate and describe the central components of the identify shift phenomenon to assist in forming a foundation for developing comprehensive theories of identity shift by MLUs. The research evaluated the effects of learning/using multiple languages on identity from a content analysis viewpoint with a phenomenological orientation. Identity is defined as the connectedness of the person to the experiences, objects, or thoughts being communicated and is associated with social practices and interactions tied to processes linked to and separated from other identified groups. The study involved 22 women and 2 men who described their experiences learning and using different languages.
520 $a Language-induced identity shift was experienced in three distinct stages; namely, shifts from identities associated with native language, achievement of significantly different identities linked to the target language, and transition to subsequent identities after target language use. Identity shift was the transition to a different point of reference that created alternate meanings for objects, experiences, and thoughts in a person's environment. Although participants present indicators that each stage of shift was emotionally laden, shifts from identities informed by native languages produced the strongest evidence of emotional consequences. The shift from target-language linked identity proved to be the most complex for participants to articulate to their satisfaction.
520 $a Participants provided experiences demonstrating that shifts from the identity associated with the target language were on a continuum from reconnecting completely with identities informed by the native language to entering a neutral state awaiting the next language encounter to determine which identities would be presented. Participants who indicated a complete return to their native-language produced identities stated a desire not to lose the foundation that defined who they were. Those participants who reported entering a neutral state provided evidences of feeling ambivalent concerning their native language identities or strong attachments to particular target language identities. Some participants provided evidence of struggles between which identities would he dominant after functioning in a target language and others spoke of enjoying the ability to switch identities and not being restricted to only one.
