Heritage Language Research Institutes

The research institutes will address a pressing need for empirical data on the grammar of heritage language learners, using methodologies developed by Maria Polinsky in her pilot studies, which are designed to be replicable across languages.
Grant Cycle Years: One through Four (2007-2010)
Project Director: Maria Polinsky (Harvard University)
