Traditionally, two perceptions of the relationship between languages in plurilingual minds have been prevalent: the juxtaposed and the interdependent representation. A third perspective has recently emerged, reporting more dynamic and plurisemiotic communicative practices. We will analyze the most frequent patterns children use to represent their linguistic resources through visual narratives and how these representations fit into those perspectives. Our analysis evinces the dominance of more traditional representations of plurilingual resources as the sum of features from several clearly separated languages. However, some productions already point out at more supple and flexible possibilities of arranging linguistic resources. Finally, we provide some clues about the development of linguistic curricula designed for plurilingual children engaged in Heritage Language classes, and we discuss epistemological issues regarding the analysis of multimodal plurilingualism and complex plurilingual practices.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1515\/iral-2017-0006","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,1,28]],"date-time":"2017-01-28T18:15:56Z","timestamp":1485627356000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["Drawing the plurilingual self: how children portray their plurilingual resources"],"prefix":"10.1515","volume":"55","author":[{"given":"S\u00edlvia","family":"Melo-Pfeifer","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]}],"member":"374","reference":[{"key":"ref111","first-page":"111","article-title":"Matters de Bot The imaging of what in the multilingual mind ?
