Meeting Description:

The aim of this workshop is to explore how heritage speakers dynamically move
between creative and routine language in narrations. Research on heritage
speakers has led to varying conclusions regarding their language competence
and performance. Oftentimes, what we now consider to be creative language use,
was considered to be sub-standard, even erroneous.  More recently however,
researchers embrace the view that non-canonicity does not result from lack of
proficiency but indicates linguistic reanalysis and the formation of a new
system (Polinsky 2008: 161). While experimental and corpus studies show that
heritage speakers may differ from both monolingual and L2 speakers, e.g. with
respect to syntactic structure, realization of grammatical categories or the
lexicon, emerging patterns fall within the spectrum of natural language
design. Kopotev et al. (2020: 1) hypothesize that ''heritage speakers deploy
fewer probabilistic strategies in language production compared with native
speakers and that their active knowledge of and access to ready-to-use
multiword units are restricted compared with native speakers''.

Final Call for Papers:

Extending the idea of probabilistic strategies from the lexicon to other areas
of linguistic investigation we invite contributions presenting heritage data,
preferably narratives, which investigate the field between creativity and
routine, for example (but not limited to) register sensitivity, discourse
openings and closings, formulaic language and/or collocations. We are
particularly interested in discussing how we can use the relative role of
canonic and creative means of expression to better understand and explain
heritage language developments and general developments of languages in
contact.
