A Comparative Grammar of the Early Germanic Languages
R. D. Fulk's comprehensive reference grammar provides an in-depth comparison of the Germanic daughter languages, from their Indo-European (IE) roots through their reconstructed Proto-Germanic (PGmc) stages and ultimately to the first-attested varieties, commonly termed the “Old Germanic Languages.” Immediate comparisons can be made to Orrin Robinson's Old English and its Closest Relatives: A Survey of the Earliest Germanic Languages (1992) for it…
Heritage languages and their speakers (Cambridge studies in linguistics 159)
From Bidialectal to Bilingual
The present work examines nominal case marking in Wisconsin Heritage German, based on audio recordings of six speakers made in the late 1940s. Linguistic data provide positive evidence for a four-case nominal system characteristic of Standard German. At the same time, biographical and demographic information show that the heritage varieties acquired and spoken in the home often employed a different nominal system, one that often exhibited dative-…
Redefining Language Death
The present work presents a critical assessment of claims in recent literature that moribund language varieties exhibit accelerated language decay, and that attrition in individual grammars has a causational relationship with language shift to the majority language. We show these claims to be unfounded. Based on two empirical points taken from moribund heritage varieties of German-complementizer agreement and the restructuring of the morphosyntac…

You Take the Low Road and I’ll Take the High Road
This article presents on interviews with 10 bilingual speakers of American English and Wisconsin Heritage German ( WHG ), with respect to their licensing of high ( NP 1) versus low ( NP 2) agreement. In terms of linguistic typology, English copular constructions license only NP 1 agreement, in which the verb agrees in person and number with the first—or syntactically high—nominal element in the clause; Standard German copular constructions licens…

Parasitic Gapping in Bilingual Grammar
We report on work with German-English bilinguals, heritage speakers of German, and their licensing of parasitic gaps (a type of multiple gap construction) in English-to-German translation tasks. English allows such constructions variably, while European German does not. While some recent work reports that some heritage speakers have difficulty licensing null elements generally, most of our speakers allow some gaps in German. Structurally, these g…
