Demonstratives in heritage Greek, Russian, and Turkish in Germany and the United States
Aims and Objectives: This study investigates the use of definite noun phrases involving demonstratives in adolescent and adult monolingually raised and heritage speakers of Greek, Russian, and Turkish with the following research questions: (1) Do heritage speakers of Greek, Russian, and Turkish align with monolingually raised speakers regarding the production of demonstratives? and (2) Do mode and register affect the use of demonstratives? Method…
Individual differences in verb aspect processing in monolinguals and bilingual heritage speakers of Turkish
Language processing in monolingual and heritage speakers shows variation when the concept of aspect processing, an understudied phenomenon in the literature, is taken into consideration. In this regard, this study focuses on grammatical aspect (i.e., imperfective and perfective) in monolingual and heritage speakers of Turkish, and aims to uncover Turkish monolinguals' and heritage speakers' processing of perfective aspect for completed events and…
Sentiments Towards Heritage Languages and Their Speakers
Research on heritage languages has grown in both volume and scale over the last 30 years. More recently, researchers have begun observing shifts in the ways in which heritage languages and their speakers are being portrayed within the field, newly emphasizing more positive characterizations. In the present meta-analysis, we combine two methodologies to test the extent to which these positive trends in sentiment are reflected in the field of herit…
Shifting and Expanding Clause Combining Strategies in Heritage Turkish Varieties
Turkish is a language described as relying predominantly on non-finite subordination in the domain of clause combining. However, there are also strategies of finite subordination, as well as means of syndetic and asyndetic paratactic clause combining, especially in the informal settings. Clause combining is and has been one of the focal points of research on heritage Turkish (h-Turkish). One point is particularly clear: In comparison with the mon…
Scalar and Counterfactual Approximatives
Approximative constructions present special interest for acquisition due to the counterfactual and scalar inferences they give rise to. In this paper we investigate the acquisition of Greek approximatives by heritage speakers in Germany and the USA. We show that while in English and German there is a single lexical item encoding counterfactuality and scalarity, in Greek there are two lexical items which, as we show, have different interpretations…
