dc.description.abstract | Purpose: This study examines embedded clauses with adverb/negation in heritage speakers of
Norwegian in North America. We ask (a) whether the production of these structures is different
from the baseline, (b) how the production is different, and (c) why it is different.<p>
<p>Methodology: 50second to fifth-generation speakers from the Corpus of American Nordic
Speech (CANS) are compared with a baseline consisting of 13 first-generation speakers from
the same corpus and a large corpus study on verb placement in embedded clauses in European
Norwegian.
<p>Findings: The speakers behave differently from the baseline, as they use main clause word
order in embedded clauses, especially when the finite verb is an auxiliary. Furthermore, there is
a correlation between main clause word order in embedded clauses and V2 violations in main
clauses. We propose a combination of crosslinguistic influence, language-internal drift, differential
acquisition, and activation of the heritage language as possible factors affecting the speaker’s
production.
<p>Originality: Whereas several studies have looked at main clause word order in the same and
similar populations, not as much work has been done on embedded clauses. We also combine data
from the same informants from a previous study to look at correlations between the behaviour
in main and embedded clauses. <p>Implications: This study illustrates how heritage languages are affected by different factors
across speakers; where some speakers seem to simplify the language, others have held on to
fine-grained distinctions. | en_US |
