Accent Perception in Heritage Speakers of Italian and Migrants from Italy
Little is known about how heritage speakers ( HS s) and first-generation migrants perceive global accents, including those of their own peers. Our study compares the accent perception of 107 Italian-speaking individuals belonging to three groups: HS s, migrants, and homeland controls. These three groups rated speech samples from second language learners (L2ers), homeland speakers, and other HS s. The results revealed that migrants perceive accent…
Focus and negation in Italian why -questions
In the present study, we investigate whether negation interacts with the set of alternatives that are elicited by why-questions. More precisely, we examine whether negation modifies the so-called contrast-class (set of alternatives) in the same way as negation interacts with other constructions, such as focal elements in declarative sentences. To this end, we conducted a multiple forced-choice experiment on Italian and German why-questions in whi…
Intonation of polar questions in German-dominant heritage speakers of Italian
In heritage language (HL) research, prosodic aspects of heritage speakers (HSs) speech have only recently started to receive attention and the results have been mixed. While some studies report cross-linguistic influence (CLI) for HL intonation, others consider it robust. The present study contributes to this debate and examines the intonational patterns of polar questions (PolQs) in the two languages of 30 HSs of Italian with German as majority …
Vocative, where do you hang out in wh -interrogatives
This paper provides new insights into the analysis of vocative structures that co-occur with a sentence by bridging two previously independent domains of linguistic research: wh -interrogatives and vocatives. More specifically, we investigate in which positions Spanish speakers accept vocatives in wh -interrogatives introduced by different wh -phrases. The results of an acceptability judgment task indicate that our participants highly accept init…
Voice Onset Time in Multilingual Speakers
This study brings together two previously largely independent fields of multilingual language acquisition: heritage language and third language (L3) acquisition. We investigate the production of fortis and lenis stops in semi-naturalistic speech in the three languages of 20 heritage speakers (HSs) of Italian with German as a majority language and English as L3. The study aims to identify the extent to which the HSs produce distinct values across …
