No full textIncludes bibliographical references and index."Heritage languages, such as the Turkish varieties spoken in Berlin or the Spanish used in Los Angeles, are non-dominant languages, often with little prestige. Their speakers also speak the dominant language of the country they live in. Often heritage languages undergo changes due to their special status. They have received a lot of scholarly attention and provide a link between academic concerns and educational issues. This book takes a language contact perspective: we consider heritage languages from the perspective of their history, their structural properties, and their interaction with other surrounding languages"--Heritage speakers and heritage languages -- History of the field of heritage language studies -- Social aspects of heritage languages -- Bilingual language use -- Methods for collecting heritage language data -- Studying variability in heritage language speaker populations -- and the base line -- Heritage language phenomena and what triggers them -- Grammatical models and research paradigms -- Language processing in multilingual speakers -- Heritage languages in a post-colonial setting: focus on Papiamentu -- The political dimension of heritage languages: endangered languages, -- language rights, and the preservation of diversity -- Technical terms used in this book related to heritage languages1 online resource

Georges Bank. Massachusetts Institute of Technology.Georges Bank provides a basic and indispensable reference tool for anyone involved in studying the bank or in making decisions about its use.
Until now debates about alternative uses of the bank have been hampered by the fact that much of the basic research has been available only to specialists and has been scattered among many publications. In bringing the available information on this complex region together for the first time, Georges Bank provides a basic and indispensable reference tool for anyone involved in studying the bank or in making decisions about its use. Moreover, the depth and clarity of the book's 57 articles and 8 nontechnical introductions will make it useful for anyone involved in oceanographic or ocean policy studies.Sections cover all aspects of this huge marine ecosystem - geology, weather and climate, physical oceanography, chemistry, phytoplankton, primary production, zoology and secondary production, the fisheries, and conflicting uses. Georges Bank is the first major project of the Coastal Research Center of Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. The editor-in-chief, Richard H. Backus, is chairman of the Institutions's biology department. Includes 176 six-color maps, 54 four-color illustrations - 392 charts, graphs, and drawings
