Abstract

Research on heritage language development in children can profit greatly by incorporating insights from analyses of structured variation, which is defined as the interchange of linguistic forms where the choice to use one form over the other is probabilistically conditioned by linguistic and social factors. This article reviews the limited research on bilingual children's structured variation, focussing specifically on child heritage speakers of Spanish. It is argued that careful attention to structured variation advances our understanding of heritage language development in childhood and can help us move beyond a deficit view of bilingualism.

儿童遗产说话者语法的结构变化

对儿童遗产语言发展的研究可以通过结合结构化变异分析的见解而受益匪浅，结构化变异被定义为语言形式的交换，其中选择使用一种形式而不是另一种形式的可能性受到语言和社会因素的制约。本文回顾了关于双语儿童结构变异的有限研究，特别关注西班牙语儿童遗产。有人认为，对结构变异的仔细关注可以促进我们对儿童时期遗产语言发展的理解，并可以帮助我们超越对双语的缺陷观点。
