Overview

The book is dedicated to the linguistic, psycholinguistic, and ethnolinguistic dimensions of Italian as a heritage language spoken by minorities in the Americas and Europe. The contributions deepen our understanding of heritage language bilingualism in general, especially by comparing the acquisition of inflectional morphology in Italian with the processes at play in other heritage languages.

"""As the first volume dedicated to the study of Italian as a heritage language, Romano's collection will be a go-to work for anyone interested in Italian or Sicilian as minority languages. By examining various majority language pairings and contexts, these studies not only establish new knowledge but also serve as a jumping-off point to spark further research into the complex and multifaceted interplay of factors surrounding Italian heritage language acquisition.
