Abstract:

A heritage language is the term given to a language spoken at home by
bilingual children of immigrant parents. Written by a leading figure in the
field, this pioneering, in-depth study brings together three heritage
languages – Hindi, Spanish and Romanian - spoken in the United States.  It
demonstrates how heritage speakers drive morphosyntactic change when certain
environmental characteristics are met, and considers the relationship between
social and cognitive factors and timing in language acquisition, bilingualism,
and language change.  It also discusses the implications of the findings for
the language education of heritage speakers in the USA and considers how the
heritage language can be maintained in the English-speaking school system.
Advancing our understanding of heritage language development and change, this
book is essential reading for students and researchers of linguistics and
multilingualism, immigration, education studies and language policy, as well
as educators and policy makers.
