Attrition and divergent attainment are not mutually exclusive and can even co-exist with respect to the same or different grammatical phenomena, but teasing these apart requires longitudinal studies or carefully selected cross-sectional data (Montrul, 2008; 2016; Polinsky, 2011). In this article we present data from a longitudinal corpus of letters written by a speaker of North American Icelandic over a span of seventy-two years. The earliest letters suggest that the writer acquired Icelandic consistent with the baseline. However, in the last thirty years of writing, non-target forms emerge in the corpus. Morphosyntax, notably grammatical gender and inflectional morphology, is the most affected domain of grammar. In this article we focus on the nature of the changes attested for grammatical gender across time. Our results show that gender assignment does not undergo a systematic re-analysis. However, the non-target gender agreement indicates the overuse of an agreement default, which may reflect a trend towards a systematic reduction of the gender agreement system.","PeriodicalId":424930,"journal":{"name":"Heritage Language Journal","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132646269","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The research is based on data collected by Soviet scholars in the 1920s, in the 1950s, and those collected in 2018–2019 from informants who are among the last descendants of Swiss Shabo settlers.\u0000\u0000The present article has two goals. First, it addresses some phonological, morphological and syntactic properties of the Heritage French variety used by Swiss settlers and demonstrates the changes it underwent due to its contact with Russian. Second, it examines the role of the Shabo Heritage French affective dimension as the factor explaining its maintenance despite geographical distance and political rupture. Finally, the article attempts to show how the sociocultural dimension of a heritage language (He, 2010, p. 66) impacted its maintenance over four generations.\u0000\u0000The results indicate that changes that this Heritage French underwent are, in phonology, vowel reduction and consonant assimilation, in morphology, morphological construction calques from Russian and, in syntax, a tendency to build sentences following the Russian rules of syntax. The results show that Shabo Swiss settlers’ connections to their heritage language seem to have been strong, since they consider their heritage language as part of their cultural heritage. \u0000\u0000Several additional perspectives are addressed that focus on the sociolinguistic situation as impacted by political circumstances. Implications for the discipline of heritage language scholarship are also discussed.","PeriodicalId":424930,"journal":{"name":"Heritage Language Journal","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121491277","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article compares two populations of Russian-English bilinguals on their\u0000strategies of resolving ambiguity within the system of grammatical gender in Russian, with a\u0000particular focus on indeterminacy in gender agreement with animate nouns. As a result of complex\u0000interactions among lexical, morpho-phonological, and discourse-level gender categorization cues,\u0000the agreement behavior of animate nouns in Russian is not fully uniform. The results of a scaled\u0000acceptability ratings study demonstrate that gender agreement in transparent and non-ambiguous\u0000contexts is largely unproblematic for both bilingual groups; however, contexts that require conflict\u0000resolution between different types of cues and those characterized by underspecification represent\u0000two areas where HL speakers and L2 learners diverge from monolingual Russian-speaking\u0000controls. Across all experimental conditions, bilingual speakers demonstrate a higher reliance on\u0000morpho-phonological gender categorization cues and assign less weight to lexical and referential\u0000factors in gender assignment than monolinguals. The results further show that the two populations\u0000of bilinguals are not fully alike with respect to dealing with different types of indeterminacy. In\u0000particular, HL speakers exhibit an advantage over L2 learners in conflict resolution; however, both\u0000bilingual groups struggle with constructions that give rise to referential ambiguity due to\u0000underspecification. These results expand our understanding of the problem of indeterminacy in\u0000bilingual acquisition of gender and offer implications for theories of language acquisition and\u0000language instruction.","PeriodicalId":424930,"journal":{"name":"Heritage Language Journal","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131225907","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While the studies reviewed here differ in their\u0000analyses of Russian verbal aspect, specific research questions, acquisition context, and research\u0000methodology, a common observation is that Russian aspectual contrasts are not easily acquired\u0000and that some may be more difficult to master than others. The review shows that some of these\u0000asymmetries are not unique to child grammars or to bilingual acquisition, but hold in all the\u0000acquisition contexts and may be determined by the complexity of the category itself, while others\u0000reflect developmental trends and effects of context and timing of acquisition. The paper starts with\u0000an overview of Russian aspect and the associated learning tasks, which is followed by the review\u0000of patterns emerging from studies on the acquisition of aspect by children, adult foreign language\u0000learners, and adult heritage speakers of Russian. The paper concludes with a discussion of the way\u0000these empirical findings can be connected to classroom contexts.","PeriodicalId":424930,"journal":{"name":"Heritage Language Journal","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123189277","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
