碩士 === 淡江大學 === 日本語文學系碩士班 === 102 === This thesis is about the formation of the identity in bilingual of Chinese and Japanese. There are many researches about the bilinguals who grew up under Japanese and Europe culture, but which grew up under Japanese and Chinese culture is not too much. So, I decided to do research about this type of bilinguals’ formation of identity. He/she can be aware of himself/herself with identity. For example, the ID card is a subject, and values or thinking of culture understanding are abstract ideas about identity. I had interviews with bilinguals whose ages are from 14 to 25, which are the most important time of formation of the identity which is called adolescence. Bilinguals have the same values and the way of thinking as native speakers, as well as speaking two languages perfectly. But dictionary said they can be classified with two kinds; “Early bilingual” and “Late bilingual.” If one is learning two languages at the same time, he/she is called “Simultaneous bilingual”, while called “Sequential bilingual” if he/she is learning a language after the other language. I divide them into 10 types based on factors such as nationality, living environment, and their parents’ nationality. Afterward, educational environment, family background ,and are important elements to their formation of identity.
