Abstract:

Heritage speakers are a fascinating group of bilinguals with a unique profile.
Living abroad as immigrants of the second generation, they speak the language
of their own speech community (the heritage language) at home, and the
societally dominant language in most other domains. What exactly they know
about their heritage language continues to fascinate the research community as
well as teachers and other practitioners working with this group. The
different contributions cover a large variety of studies into heritage
languages spoken in Europe and North America (including Chinese, Norwegian,
Russian, Spanish and Turkish). The volume makes a key contribution to the
description and explanation of variability in the outcomes of heritage
language acquisition, taking into account a wide range of factors which impact
on language acquisition. As comparisons are frequently made with monolinguals
and foreign language learners, the volume is also highly relevant for
researchers working in monolingual language acquisition and foreign language
learning and teaching.
