Theoretical and Experimental Aspects of Syntax-Discourse Interface in Heritage Grammars
In Theoretical and Experimental Aspects of Syntax-Discourse Interface in Heritage Grammars, Tanya Ivanova-Sullivan investigates comprehension and production of anaphoric dependencies with null and overt subject pronouns. She discusses the divergent behaviour of the heritage speakers of Russian by providing a closer look at their proficiency level, quantity of input and order of language acquisition. She explains the results with various degrees of successful application of pragmatic principles and efficiency in allocating cognitive resources. The contribution of the monograph lies in the discussion of theoretical and experimental issues related to anaphora resolution along with an investigation of all aspects of representation and processing of anaphoric pronouns by various kinds of bilinguals: heritage speakers, L2 learners and L1 attriters.
Heritage Languages and Syntactic Theory
Author: Roberta D'Alessandro
language: en
Publisher: Oxford University Press
Release Date: 2025
This volume explores a wide range of structural phenomena in typologically diverse heritage languages using current Minimalist theoretical approaches. The chapters show that the integration of these languages into syntactic theory adds an important piece of the puzzle relating to linguistic competence.
Formal approaches to complexity in heritage language grammars
Author: Maria Polinsky
language: en
Publisher: Language Science Press
Release Date: 2024-07-05
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.
