Abstract
The field of heritage language acquisition has seen tremendous development in the investigation of the linguistic properties of heritage grammars. Studies of different languages (Spanish, Russian, Korean, Hindi, Arabic, Turkish, and others) using offline methodologies have uncovered that different aspects of language (phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, discourse) are mastered to different degrees by child/adult heritage speakers. This chapter reviews the state of heritage language psycholinguistics, covering phonological, morphological, semantic, syntactic, and discourse processing in oral production and online sentence comprehension. It also considers how processing accounts of L1 and L2 acquisition may be extended to tease apart the contributing roles of age and experience in heritage language acquisition and processing.
