Written by a leading figure in the field, this pioneering, in-depth study brings together three heritage languages - Hindi, Spanish and Romanian - spoken in the United States. It demonstrates how heritage speakers drive morphosyntactic change when certain environmental characteristics are met, and considers the relationship between social and cognitive factors and timing in language acquisition, bilingualism, and language change. It also discusses the implications of the findings for the language education of heritage speakers in the USA and considers how the heritage language can be maintained in the English-speaking school system. Advancing our understanding of heritage language development and change, this book is essential reading for students and researchers of linguistics and multilingualism, immigration, education studies and language policy, as well as educators and policy makers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Silvina Montrul\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1107133378\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781107133372\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/22\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 348\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.81d","brand":"Silvina Montrul","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44072908259583,"sku":"9781107133372","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f3c021d1-065c-45f7-abad-4116244f29c6.jpg?v=1685444652","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/native-speakers-interrupted-silvina-montrul-9781107133372","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
