At the same time, they suggest that for 1.5ers the relationship between language\u0000and identity also needs to be considered in relation to L1 attrition.

Literature on early school-aged children is scarce. However, Serratrice (2007) and Wolleb (2013) could not detect differences in terms of cross-linguistic influence (CLI) between monolingual Italian children and bilingual Italian-English children at the age of 5 to 8 years. The present paper presents oral data based on semi-structured interviews of Italian-German children (age 6 to 10, mean 8.2 years, n=12) and adult Italian heritage speakers in Germany (age 17 to 43, mean 26.9 years, n=16). We show that the school-aged heritage speakers perform much the same as the adult ones, in both subject expression in total and subject omissions by grammatical person, contrasting findings of CLI in younger bilingual German-Italian children (Schmitz, Patuto, & Müller, 2012). In addition, results show that the children’s subject expression is in most utterances pragmatically felicitous to a degree comparable to the adult HS. Concerning language-external factors, we investigated the influence of speech rate, sex, and age on subject expression and observe that adults vary more with increasing age than the young speakers do. We argue that both investigated groups clearly display native competence in the domain of subject expression.","PeriodicalId":424930,"journal":{"name":"Heritage Language Journal","volume":"64 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133730459","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 few studies on heritage language learners’ development of local features abroad have focused on phonological ones, concluding that more in-depth exposure to the varieties abroad was related to increased production of the local features (Escalante, 2018; George & Hoffman-González, in press). Research on the effects of international service learning have also been limited to second language learners, demonstrating increased second language use and proficiency (Martinsen, Baker, Dewey, Bown, & Johnson, 2010) along with the development of geographically-variable patterns of use (Salgado-Robles, 2018). The current study combines these two fields and investigates the development of a variable local feature (vosotros versus ustedes) by 20 U.S. Spanish-speaking heritage language learners of Mexican descent studying abroad for\u0000four months in Spain. The experimental group (N = 10) participated in a service learning course in addition to traditional coursework, while the control group (N = 10) completed traditional coursework and no service learning course. The results of the Oral Discourse Completion Task demonstrated that all participants significantly increased their use of vosotros from the beginning to the end of the semester; however, the change by the experimental group was two times higher than the control group. This could be explained by the results of the Language Contact Profile, which revealed more use of Spanish and less use of English by participants in the experimental group. This study offers implications for future study abroad programs, the linguistic impacts of service-learning, and the development of sociolinguistic competence.","PeriodicalId":424930,"journal":{"name":"Heritage Language Journal","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115721590","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 current study investigates whether heritage speakers also have difficulties in this domain. We report the results from a questionnaire study investigating heritage speakers’ sensitivity to contextual cues to the appropriate use of (in-)definites both in their native language (Turkish) and in their second, societally dominant language (German). The results show that Turkish heritage speakers over-use definite noun phrases in contexts that normally require an indefinite noun phrase in both Turkish and German, in comparison to non-bilingual Turkish and German-speaking controls. This indicates that sensitivity to pragmatic constraints on the use of (in-)definites is reduced in languages that were acquired under conditions that differ from those of typical monolingually raised speakers, regardless of the age at which these languages were acquired or how definiteness is expressed morphosyntactically. Instead, our heritage speakers’ daily use of Turkish proved to be the strongest predictor for their performance. Together, our findings indicate divergent attainment in both of our heritage speakers’ languages, with pragmatic constraints on the use of (in-) definites being weakened in both Turkish and German.","PeriodicalId":424930,"journal":{"name":"Heritage Language Journal","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131763005","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}

We seek to uncover how the incursion of the interpreting industry, and the ensuing language standardization that it has engendered, has affected the perception and use of Spanish among bilingual health care providers (HCPs), specifically nurses. Our findings show that the interpreting industry has not eliminated language exploitability (Alarcón & Heyman, 2013; Alarcón & Heyman, 2014) among bilingual HCPs but rather has made this exploitability more insidious. We argue that the interpreting industry has fomented a discourse of “risk” surrounding the use of Spanish in the hospital that affects bilingual HCPs’ perceptions of their own language skills by generating linguistic insecurities. We support our arguments by providing the results of a survey implemented to determine bilingual nurses’ use of certified medical interpreters (CMIs). These results are followed by excerpts from in-depth interviews conducted with bilingual nurses who participated\u0000in the aforementioned survey. Based on our findings, we determined that language the hospital’s language ecology classifies many bilingual nurses’ Spanish language skills as inadequate. We conclude by advocating for a more robust role for academic institutions in providing community education/trainings that recognize and advocate for the linguistic/cultural capital provided by bilingual HCPs.","PeriodicalId":424930,"journal":{"name":"Heritage Language Journal","volume":"223 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116022924","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}
