The workshop welcomes submissions on heritage language bilingualism in any and all contexts globally, including returnees. The workshop aims to bring together researchers who investigate heritage language bilingualism from various disciplines, including (applied, psycho-, neuro-) linguistics, cognitive science, neuroscience, deaf/hearing impaired studies, language policy, ethnolinguistic studies, language pedagogy and other related fields. Empirical work on language acquisition, linguistic processing, attrition, linguistic and (related) cognitive development, motivation, identity, equality, education and policy as well as theoretical and methodological epistemology are very welcome. This includes all domains of language (syntax, morphology, semantics, phonology, the lexicon and discourse/pragmatics, and their interfaces) and any and all appropriate methodologies, online and offline experimental or other (e.g., corpora) methods.
Some exemplar topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Linguistic properties of heritage languages in children and adults
- Heritage language acquisition and development
- The role of extra-linguistic variables in heritage language acquisition / maintenance
- Crosslinguistic influence in heritage language speech production and comprehension
- Code-switching/translanguaging in heritage speakers
- Neurocognitive adaptations within heritage bi-/multilingualism
- First language / cross-generational attrition
- Heritage language instruction
- Multimodal language and communication
- Research investigating so-called “returnee” contexts
- Methods in heritage language bilingualism
- Empirical and/or epistemological work on motivation, identity and equality in Heritage Language Research
- Work connecting adjacent fields, such as language contact, creole genesis, diachronic approaches
