Abstract:

There are more than 100,000 people in the Netherlands born in a Spanish
speaking country, or with at least one parent born there. A large part of them
fits the definition of heritage speaker: persons exposed to a heritage
language in a naturalistic setting from birth, simultaneously or subsequently
exposed intensively to another language in childhood, and with varying degrees
of proficiency in the heritage language.

This dissertation investigates the Spanish spoken as a heritage language by
members of a small but tight-knit subgroup: the first and second generation of
Chileans in the Netherlands. This Dutch-Spanish bilingual community was
studied from a sociolinguistic perspective, and then linguistically on the
basis of 60 hours of recordings. These were gathered through visual
elicitation and personal interviews with 40 participants - 24 bilinguals and a
control group of 16 monolingual homeland speakers in Chile.

The book contains studies on differential object marking, verbal mood,
progressive constructions, grammatical gender, dative constructions,
chilenismos, pattern replication, matter replication and fluency, uncovering
subtle divergences from the Spanish in the homeland and bringing new insights
to the study of bilingual Spanish.

The work contributes to a cognitive linguistic approach to fundamental issues
in language contact. New insights are provided regarding the activation paths
underlying manifestations of cross-linguistic influence such as pattern
replication and structural convergence. The author also proposes a concrete
model of system-internal optimization to explain the mechanisms behind
incomplete acquisition and attrition.
