Description du projet
Un regard plus approfondi sur le bilinguisme patrimonial
Dans le domaine énigmatique du bilinguisme dans les langues d’origine, comprendre la dynamique entre la compétence linguistique et l’engagement sociétal constitue un défi. La population unique des locuteurs de langues ancestrales très performants reste largement sous-étudiée, ce qui entrave notre compréhension de l’acquisition de la langue maternelle. Avec le soutien du programme Actions Marie Skłodowska-Curie, le projet CODE-V explorera l’interaction complexe entre la capacité, l’opportunité et le désir dans la variation des langues patrimoniales, promettant des perspectives transformatrices sur les facettes énigmatiques du bilinguisme. Plus précisément, cette approche innovante décodera le développement formel et informel des capacités, la création d’opportunités sociales/culturelles et les désirs individuels/parentaux. CODE-V promet de fournir des informations sans précédent sur les défis liés à l’acquisition d’une langue maternelle. Des domaines formels et théoriques aux dynamiques sociétales, les résultats de CODE-V sont sur le point de redéfinir notre compréhension du bilinguisme.
Objectif
Capacity, Opportunity and Desire in Heritage Language Variation (CODE-V) offers a novel approach, never used in this capacity in this context before, to examine a significantly understudied natural laboratory population of heritage language bilingualism (HLB). Moving above and beyond the current state-of-the-art in HLB studies, CODE-V works with high-performing heritage language speakers (HHSs) and aims to understand the relationship between their heritage language (HL) competence and nature of their HL experience through the lens of their community center engagement patterns. Through its novel adaptation of sociocultural/educational framework, CODE-V examines this severely understudied HLB context, decoding in a systematic way: (i) formal and informal Capacity (C) development activities, social/cultural Opportunity (O) creation efforts, and individual/parental Desires (D); (ii) what underlying linguistic competence HHSs possess and (iii) how such linguistic competence develops and changes over time and across generations in relation to the relative weighting of linguistic and environmental factors (i.e. community center engagement) that predict their HHS status. CODE-V maintains that studying one extreme end of the HL outcome continuum will be a unique position to offer novel evidence addressing the variation in HL outcomes that has posed challenges to our understanding of native language acquisition and the role of input. CODE-V’s findings, both formal/theoretical, methodological and societal/sociolinguistic, will make significant contributions to a more complete picture of bilingualism, heritage language bilingualism more specifically, and its societal dynamics, for theory building as well as addressing HSs’ societal and educational needs.
