Expanding structures while reducing mappings: Morphosyntactic complexity in agglutinating heritage languages
Lohndal, Terje; Putnam, Michael T. (Chapter, 2024)Research on heritage language grammars to date provides overwhelming support for the general stability of their syntactic systems, while the status of their morphology can vary considerably. In this chapter we offer ... -
The importance of features and exponents: Dissolving Feature Reassembly
Lohndal, Terje; Putnam, Michael T. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Formal approaches to bi- and multilingual grammars rely on two important claims: (i) the grammatical architecture should be able to deal with mono- and bi-/multilingual data without any specific constraints for the latter, ... -
Modeling multilingual grammars: Constraints and predictions
Lohndal, Terje; Putnam, Michael T. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)We are grateful for the many thoughtful responses to our epistemological paper, ‘The importance of features and exponents: Dissolving Feature Reassembly’ (henceforth, L&P). It is impossible to do justice to all of the ... -
The Tale of Two Lexicons: Decomposing Complexity across a Distributed Lexicon
Lohndal, Terje; Putnam, Michael T. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The notion of complexity is evasive and often left to intuition, yet it is often invoked when studying heritage language grammars. In this article, we propose a first pass at decomposing the notion of complexity into smaller ...
