Abstract
This volume is based on the conference Heritage Languages and Variation (HELV), which was held in Limassol, Cyprus in September 2022. It brings together interdisciplinary research from the fields of heritage language study and language variation with a critical eye towards examining issues of bi- and multilingualism, heritage language acquisition, home language development, language teaching methodology and language variation. The essays include a wide range of issues, including the study of different language patterns, the understanding of the grammar of heritage languages, the exposure and input of a particular population by a dominant language, the age of exposure to this input from the dominant language, the grammar properties affected by it, and the overall competence of the heritage speaker and the variation in grammar.
