First languages are typically acquired with continuous exposure to one (or more) language(s). This is not true in the same way for speakers of a heritage language (HL). Their first language (L1) attainment frequently does not reach native-like levels, which distinguishes them form monolinguals and most other types of multilinguals. This has implications for theoretical aspects of language representation and development. Especially the area of phonetics and phonology appears to be difficult to capture theoretically. The pronunciation of HL speakers is often described as accented compared to monolinguals, but it also differs from second language (L2) speakers, leaving several research gaps to be addressed in the present project, e.g.: (i) Are phenomena at different phonological levels affected in the same way by dynamic cross-linguistic influences? (ii) To which extent are these effects the same for different types of learners (HL, L2)? To address these questions, we study two selected phenomena at different levels within the phonology of Icelandic: preaspiration at the (sub)segmental level, and word stress at the prosodic (and: lexical) word level in HL, L1 and L2 speakers of Icelandic. Icelandic is particularly well suited because of comparatively few changes in its history and relative lack of regional variation.

第一语言通常是通过持续接触一种（或多种）语言而获得的。这对于传统语言（HL）的使用者来说并不正确。他们的第一语言（L1）水平往往达不到母语水平，这使他们有别于单语者和大多数其他类型的多语者。这对语言表征和发展的理论方面有影响。特别是语音学和音系学领域似乎很难从理论上把握。与单语者相比，HL说话者的发音通常被描述为重音，但它也不同于第二语言（L2）说话者，留下了本项目中需要解决的几个研究空白，例如：(i)不同语音层次的现象是否同样受到动态的跨语言影响？(ii)不同类型的学习者（HL，L2）的这些效果在多大程度上是相同的？为了解决这些问题，我们研究了两个选定的现象在不同层次的冰岛语音系：preaspiration在（子）段水平，和单词重音在韵律（和：词汇）字水平在HL，L1和L2扬声器的冰岛语。冰岛语特别适合，因为它的历史变化相对较少，而且相对缺乏区域差异。
