I conclude by suggesting that many aspects argued to be incompletely acquired in heritage language grammars are in fact complete, but unavoidably different.<\/p>\n<p><strong>All welcome!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Centre for Linguistics, Language Education and Acquisition Research (CLLEAR) Annual Lecture 5.00-7.00 pm Wednesday 28nd January 2015, Lecture Theatre C (Avenue Campus) Professor Jason Rothman University of Reading and University of Tromsoe Topic: Sourcing (some) differences in heritage language bilingualism and why different is NOT deviant NOR incomplete In this talk, I will first introduce [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":72618,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[57],"tags":[424230,253054,643859],"class_list":["post-767","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-events","tag-applied-linguistics","tag-bilingualism","tag-language-acquisition"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p6Sp7t-cn","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.soton.ac.uk\/ilc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/767","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.soton.ac.uk\/ilc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.soton.ac.uk\/ilc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.soton.ac.uk\/ilc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/72618"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.soton.ac.uk\/ilc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=767"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/blog.soton.ac.uk\/ilc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/767\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":768,"href":"https:\/\/blog.soton.ac.uk\/ilc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/767\/revisions\/768"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.soton.ac.uk\/ilc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=767"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.soton.ac.uk\/ilc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=767"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.soton.ac.uk\/ilc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=767"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
