| Abstract | "This is primarily an essay in the social history of ethnicity and language, but linguists have made significant contributions on the subject of heritage language persistence and factors influencing the transition to the majority language. However, the phonological or morphosyntactic developments taking place on the threshold to 'language death' are of no concern here. Rather, the prime concern is the degree of heritage language persistence relative to the size of the ethnic population of potential speakers, and whether or where the three-generation model of linguistic assimilation is confirmed or contradicted." |
