Abstract

The ‘Norwegian in America’ project, led by Janne Bondi Johannessen, has provided continued inspiration and access to document and study American Norwegian. This has contributed to a growing body of research on morpho¬syntax and, to a lesser extent, phonetics-phonology. Using compositional definiteness as an illustration, we show the benefits of incorporating these two perspectives to analyse variation in heritage languages. We strive for a holistic approach to two examples in order to demonstrate how variation in each grammatical domain interacts. In one case, this leads to an enriched understanding of the data, whereas the other case highlights an explicit need for future research. We believe that further work that includes both morphosyntax and phonetics-phonology is fruitful for our understanding of how multiple language domains interact in a heritage language setting.
跨越国界,增进我们对传统语言变异的了解
由Janne Bondi Johannessen领导的“在美国的挪威人”项目为记录和研究美国挪威人提供了持续的灵感和途径。这促成了越来越多的关于形态句法的研究,以及在较小程度上对语音学的研究。以组成确定性为例,我们展示了将这两种观点结合起来分析传统语言变化的好处。我们力求以一个整体的方法来两个例子,以证明如何在每个语法领域的变化相互作用。在一种情况下,这导致了对数据的丰富理解,而另一种情况则突出了对未来研究的明确需求。我们相信,进一步的工作,包括形态语法和语音音韵学是富有成效的,我们的理解多语言域如何在传统语言设置相互作用。
