HERITAGE LANGUAGE SYNTAX

Arctic University of Norway)

Conference Description: 
Grammars that develop under constrained input conditions provide a unique
window into the mechanisms of language diachrony and language change.
Heritage languages have been the center of a vast number of studies over the
last few decades. Some of these studies have focused on structural properties
of heritage grammars in comparison to the baseline grammars (i.e. the
languages spoken by first generation immigrants), with the aim of
understanding whether the mechanisms of resolution of “optionality”, or more
simply structural alternation, are common to all heritage languages or
specific to the languages in contact.

This workshop will focus on heritage language syntax, with particular
attention to the issue of structural optionality resolution in contact
situations.
