Abstract:

Heritage speakers are native speakers of a minority language they learn at
home, but due to socio-political pressure from the majority language spoken in
their community, their heritage language does not fully develop. In the last
decade, the acquisition of heritage languages has become a central focus of
study within linguistics and applied linguistics. This work centres on the
grammatical development of the heritage language and the language learning
trajectory of heritage speakers, synthesizing recent experimental research.
The Acquisition of Heritage Languages offers a global perspective, with a
wealth of examples from heritage languages around the world. Written in an
accessible style, this authoritative and up-to-date text is essential reading
for professionals, students, and researchers of all levels working in the
fields of sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics, education, language policies
and language teaching.
   
1. Introduction; 2. Heritage languages and heritage speakers; 3. The language
of heritage speakers; 4. The bilingual development of heritage speakers; 5.
Theoretical approaches; 6. Methodological considerations; 7. How native are
heritage speakers?; 8. Are heritage speakers like second language learners?;
9. Implications.
