"Joining the dots: language change and interge-nerational transmission in
bilingual speakers"

Abstract: Recent research on bilingualism with heritage languages points to
three interesting directions. First, the native language (L1) of
first-generation migrant speakers changes in a selective and potentially
reversible way, which is not always due to cross-linguistic influence. L1
changes affect structures that require efficient integration of information
across (syntactic, pragmatic and contextual) domains and (partly) depend on
the interaction of linguistic knowledge and cognitive control; the result
is increased selective variation. Second, we see a convergence between L1
changes and L2 acquisition: the aspects of L1 grammar that become variable
are the same that remain variable even in highly proficient L2 speakers of
the same langu-age. These findings point to a potential ecology of L2
learning and L1 change: L1 change is a natural effect of language contact,
in bilingual individuals and in bilin-gual communities, and may be
functional to the attainment of L2 proficiency. Third, language change in
first-generation speakers has an impact on intergenerational transmission:
child bilingualism in heritage languages necessarily relies on
paren-tal/adult input affected by these changes, with both short-term and
long-term conse-quences. Understanding the big picture requires a better
understanding of the bilin-gual experience, and interdisciplinary research
on different aspects of bilingualism that combines the insights of
linguistic, cognitive and social models.
