Inquiry: Asian (Chinese, Japanese and Korean) language heritage l earner research

[Scott McGinnis]

Please respond directly to the originator of this inquiry --
jeffrey at hawaii.edu

	We are looking for studies that have looked into linguistic and
psycholinguistic 
learning trends exhibited by heritage learners that may suggest
differences 
in the way they are acquiring the language as compared with non-native
learners. 
We are looking for "solid" research involving "informants", as
differentiated
from policy or field review papers.

	Below are a few articles that I have been able to dig up so far.

Please do not let the list fool you as it contains mostly the type of
articles we are NOT looking for, but which do provide insight into the
logistical issues related to accomodation of heritage learners.  If any
such research related to either Japanese or Korean comes to mind,
perhaps
you could mention that as well?

	I thank you in advance for any leads you can provide.  Best
regards,


					Jeffrey
