Mediación intralingüística y emocional en las presentaciones orales de hablantes de herencia de español
Intralinguistic and emotional mediation in oral presentations of heritage speakers

Summary/Abstract: Interlinguistic and intercultural mediation is one of the most studied areas in the context of migrant languages, whereas, when it comes to second-generation individuals, the problem of intercultural and intralinguistic mediation is not paid adecquate attention. This article studies the forms of mediation of 88 academic oral presentations of heritage speakers of Spanish in exclusive classes where there is no compelling need to mediate one's own identity. The forms of mediation are analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively. The results show that intralinguistic mediation is frequent among heritage speakers of different backgrounds in university settings. The most important contribution will be linked to the typology and frequency of these discursive incises.
