| Abstract | Contemporary speakers of German dialects brought to the United States in the 19th century often perceive their language as not correct or "bad," most often pointing to vocabulary that is archaic, regionally restricted, or that includes too many words borrowed from English. While visits to and from Germany reinforce these perceptions among heritage speakers, encounters with native Geman speakers also motivates them to modernize their vocabulary. |
