Immigrant specters of heritage language
Drawing on 12 months of ethnographic participant observation, interviews with Dominicans of Haitian descent (ages 18–24), and focus groups with public school teachers in a northern province of the Dominican Republic, this study examines how language ideologies in formal and nonformal language learning spaces shape perceptions and uses of heritage language (Kreyòl).
