This book presents new empirical findings about Germanic heritage varieties spoken in North America: Dutch, German, Pennsylvania Dutch, Icelandic, Norwegian, Swedish, West Frisian and Yiddish, and varieties of English spoken both by heritage speakers and in communities after language shift. The volume focuses on three critical issues underlying the notion of ‘heritage language’: acquisition, attrition and change. The book offers theoretically-informed discussions of heritage language processes across phonetics and phonology, morphology, syntax and semantics and the lexicon, in addition to work on sociolinguistics, historical linguistics and contact settings. With this, the volume also includes a variety of frameworks and approaches, synchronic and diachronic. Most European Germanic languages share some central linguistic features, such as V2, gender and agreement in the nominal system, and verb inflection. As minority languages faced with a majority language like English, similarities and differences emerge in patterns of variation and change in these heritage languages. These empirical findings shed new light on mechanisms and processes.

This Element focuses on phonetic and phonological development in multilinguals and presents a novel methodological approach to it within Complex Dynamic Systems Theory (CDST). We show how phonetic and phonological development is feature-dependent and inter-connected and how learning experience affects the process.

Heritage languages, such as the Turkish varieties spoken in Berlin or the Spanish used in Los Angeles, are non-dominant languages, often with little prestige. Their speakers also speak the dominant language of the country they live in. Often heritage languages undergo changes due to their special status. They have received a lot of scholarly attention and provide a link between academic concerns and educational issues. This book takes a language contact perspective: we consider heritage languages from the perspective of their history, their structural properties, and their interaction with other surrounding languages.

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 has become a central focus of study within linguistics and applied linguistics. This work centers 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. Discusses examples and studies from heritage languages all over the world; Provides accessible explanations of linguistic terms; Explores the theories and research methods applied to heritage language acquisition. -- from back cover.

Heritage language policies define the context in which heritage languages are maintained or abandoned by communities, and this volume describes and analyzes international policy strategies, as well as the implications for the actual heritage language speakers. This volume brings together heritage language policy case studies from around the world, foregrounding globalization by covering five regions: the Americas, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australasia. The countries profiled include the United States, Canada, Argentina, Norway, Sweden, Ireland, Uganda, Namibia, Morocco, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, New Zealand, Australia, and Fiji. This volume also highlights an expanded definition of ‘heritage language’, choosing to focus on individual and community identities, and therefore including both Indigenous and immigrant languages. Focusing specifically on language policy relating to heritage languages, the chapters address key questions such as Are heritage languages included or excluded from the national language policy discourse? What are the successes and shortcomings of efforts to establish heritage language policies? What is the definition of ‘heritage language’ in official usage by the local/regional government and stakeholders? How are these language policies perceived by the actual heritage language communities?

This study provides an acoustic analysis of vowels and voiceless and voiced stops in narrative, picture-naming, sentence-reading and nonce words reading tasks produced by heritage speakers (HSs) of Polish and Ukrainian residing in the Midwestern US who are beginning and intermediate-level learners of Spanish. The goal of this investigation was to examine if their production of Spanish segments relies more on their heritage language (HL) phonology, which, like Spanish, avoids unstressed vowel reduction, utilizes short-lag voice onset time (VOT) in the production voiceless stops and has true-voicing of voiced stops, or if they show evidence of transfer of unstressed vowel reduction, long-lag VOT, a lack of true-voicing, and a lack of intervocalic lenition from their dominant language, English. Data from eleven Polish and six Ukrainian HS, with beginning or intermediate levels of Spanish proficiency were analyzed. Ten participants were recruited to serve as control groups: five L1 English L2 Spanish speakers (i.e., L2 acquisition baseline) and five L1 Spanish L2 English speakers (i.e., L1 Spanish baseline). All speakers watched a five-minute silent film and were recorded describing the events they observed. The HSs performed the task in Ukrainian or Polish, and English and Spanish, while the control groups only did it in the latter two languages. All speakers also completed three additional tasks in Spanish: a picture identification task with 33 items, a reading task with 64 contextualized sentences, and a reading elicitation with 44 nonce words embedded carrier phrases. A subset of English, Polish, Spanish, and Ukrainian vowels and voiceless and voiced stops in different phonetic contexts were extracted and the following acoustic variables were analyzed in Praat (Boersma and Weenink 2016): the first two formants in vowels, VOT in voiceless stops, and VOT and relative intensity in voiced stops. The findings suggest reliance on English in the production of unstressed vowels and intervocalic lenition and influence of the HLs in the production of true-voicing. The voiceless stops results suggest influence of both the HL and the dominant language. This study fills research gaps in heritage and L3 phonetics/phonology through its focus on the effects of an HL on the acquisition of subsequent sound systems in adulthood. The results suggest that language contact, dominance, and typology, rather than order of acquisition are the most crucial factors in L3 phonological acquisition, which is insight that further supports existing theories of L3 acquisition.
