A heritage language is normally defined as a language that someone learns at home as a child, and which is crucially not the dominant language of the society. Because of the fact that heritage languages are minority languages, it has been argued that they change under the influence of the majority/dominant language. Heritage languages have recently emerge as the focus of linguistic research and in this course we are going to examine their properties, and their complex relationship to majority/dominant languages. |
