Abstract:

Heritage language bilingualism refers to contexts where a minority language
spoken at home is (one of) the first native language(s) of an individual who
grows up and typically becomes dominant in the societal majority language.
Heritage language bilinguals often wind up with grammatical systems that
differ in interesting ways from dominant-native speakers growing up where
their heritage language is the majority one. Understanding the trajectories
and outcomes of heritage language bilingual grammatical competence,
performance, language usage patterns, identities and more related topics sits
at the core of many research programs across a wide array of theoretical
paradigms. The study of heritage language bilingualism has grown exponentially
over the past two decades. This expansion in interest has seen, in parallel,
extensions in methodologies applied, bridges built between closely related
fields such as the study of language contact and linguistic attrition. As is
typical in linguistics, not all languages are studied to the same degree. The
present volume showcases what Turkish as a heritage language brings to bear
for key questions in the study of heritage language bilingualism and beyond.
In many ways, Turkish is an ideal language to be studied because of its large
diaspora across the world, in particular Europe. The papers in this volume are
diverse: from psycholinguistic, to ethnographic, to classroom-based studies
featuring Turkish as a heritage language. Together they equal more than their
subparts, leading to the conclusion that understudied heritage languages like
Turkish provide missing pieces to the puzzle of understanding the variables
that give rise to the continuum of outcomes characteristic of heritage
language speakers.
