Montrul, S. (2011). Introduction: The linguistic competence of heritage speakers. Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 33, 155-161.
摘要:This special issue of Studies in Second Language Acquisition, which is devoted to the linguistic knowledge of heritage language speakers, is introduced. Heritage languages are defined as ethnic minority languages from around the world. In North America, Europe, and Australia, at least two types of heritage languages are found -- indigenous languages of a group of speakers who have always inhabited the region where the majority language is spoken and languages of immigrants who move into a country where the majority language is now spoken.
