Abstract:

This collective volume breaks new ground in studies of linguistic
complexity by addressing this phenomenon in heritage languages. It
dismisses with the conception that heritage languages are less complex
than their baseline or homeland counterparts and shows complexity
trade-offs at various levels of linguistic representation. The authors
consider defining properties of complexity as a phenomenon,
diagnostics of complexity, and the ways complexity is modeled,
measured, or operationalized in language sciences. The chapters
showcase several bilingual dyads and offer new empirical data on
heritage language production and use.
