HERITAGE LANGUAGES: GENERAL TRAITS AND DEVELOPMENTAL TRENDS. THE CASE OF HERITAGE ROMANIAN SPOKEN IN FRANCE

Summary/Abstract: This article addresses the significance of studying heritage languages in Europe, as well as their generaldevelopmental trends, offering the example of heritage Romanian spoken in France. We present inparticular some results of a project (International Research Network), funded by CNRS and conductedin France since 2020. This involves a situation of linguistic contact where both languages– the domi-nant language and the heritage language– are Romance languages. The studies undertaken within theframework of this project focus on the syntax and morphology of heritage Romanian in school-agechildren (6–14 years old), and document the existence of vulnerability points particularly at the syntax-morphology and syntax-discourse interfaces. We discuss here the results concerning case marking anddifferential object marking.
