摘要最近的研究表明,这些传统的发言者,其中许多人拥有不完整的知识,他们的家庭语言,这些发言者可能是优越的语言上级第二语言(L2)学习者只有在语音,但不是在形态句法。本研究通过对24名二语学习者和24名西班牙语传统使用者的连接代词和词序知识的研究,重新审视了这一主张。口头生产任务,书面语法判断任务,和一个快速的理解任务的结果表明,总体而言,遗产扬声器似乎拥有更多的西班牙语比他们的L2同行nativelike的知识。强调年龄和经验的作用,在L2的最终实现和遗产语言习得和教学领域的理论的影响进行了讨论。
ABSTRACT Recent studies of heritage speakers, many of whom possess incomplete knowledge of their family language, suggest that these speakers may be linguistically superior to second language (L2) learners only in phonology but not in morphosyntax. This study reexamines this claim by focusing on knowledge of clitic pronouns and word order in 24 L2 learners and 24 Spanish heritage speakers. Results of an oral production task, a written grammaticality judgment task, and a speeded comprehension task showed that, overall, heritage speakers seem to possess more nativelike knowledge of Spanish than their L2 counterparts. Implications for theories that stress the role of age and experience in L2 ultimate attainment and for the field of heritage language acquisition and teaching are discussed.
