Накратко на български

Влиянието на околния език върху персийки, които го говорят като наследствен, се проследява чрез начина, по който използват местоименията. Това помага да се разбере как двуезичието и различните езикови среди променят граматиката в ума на говорещите.

Cross-Linguistic Influence of Competing Knowledge (CLICK): Comparative Morphosyntactic Variations in Heritage Language Development

This project aimed to test the hypotheses that (i) the underlying HL competence do not differ in HSs in different language contact situations (ii) a co-registered methodology that combines offline and online methods in the same task can better document the differences in HSs’ underlying grammars as a result of CLI from different societal languages. In general, CLICK is guided by two key research objectives (ROs): RO1. To determine whether HSs in different language contact situations differ from each other in their interpretation of overt and null pronouns as a result of CLI from the societal languages and/or general effects of bilingualism. Furthermore, we seek to investigate whether or not the difference can be meaningfully teased apart by bringing together typologically different languages of the sort included in CLICK. RO2. To establish if a novel methodology which combines online and offline measures in the same task offers a promising test battery to better capture underlying grammars of HSs in different language contact situations. More specifically, we focused on three main areas of theoretical and methodological relevance: i) the interpretation of intrasentential anaphora in the context of HLB in an understudied HL; Persian in distinct language pairings with French, Spanish, English, Norwegian and German. ii) offer new insights related to CLI as a language-external factor on HL outcome in different language contact situations and subsequently contribute to teasing apart generalized bilingual effects from CLI-specific ones. It should be noted that whatever the two groups share in common might be viewed as generalized bilingual effects iii) contribute to the methodological trend of combining offline and online procedures to have a stronger profile of results to address the differences in HLB. Taken together, this project provides enduring and cutting-edge discoveries of the underlying representation of HL grammars and the influence of competing grammatical representations.

Цел на проекта

Due to increasing global mobility, research into how immigrants acquire and use multiple languages has become a major topic in the past few decades. However, comparatively little is known about how the developmental trajectories of native minority languages (i.e. heritage languages (HLs)) are shaped alongside the societal languages in their children who are heritage speakers (HSs). The CLICK project, as the first study to investigate how different societal languages leave their traces on the developmental trajectories of the same HL, will make a significant contribution to an emergent subfield of bilingualism, namely Heritage Language Bilingualism (HLB). This will be done by studying HSs of Persian/Farsi in contact with two societally dominant languages in France and Spain. We will innovatively combine offline and online methodologies to explore whether or not the syntactic status of pronominal subjects (null and overt subjects in the case of Spanish versus overt subjects only as in French) affects the development and maintenance of related properties in Persian as a HL. Additionally, we will strive to establish if a novel co-registered methodology which combines online and offline measures in the same task offers a promising test battery to better capture underlying grammars of HSs in different language contact situations. Ultimately, CLICK will generate substantive, empirically informed hypotheses about human language, which within the present context of globalization and increased bi-/multilingualism are likely to achieve a marked scientific impact. Accordingly, the findings of this project will be of interest not only to psycholinguists, sociolinguists and psychologists but also to teachers, speech pathologists, education policy makers and immigrant parents. In addition, the emphasis given to non-standard languages promotes linguistic diversity, concordant with the EU’s efforts to raise awareness about minority languages.
