Italian-German bilinguals : The effects of heritage language use on accent in early-acquired languages

Lloyd-Smith, Anika ; Einfeldt, Marieke and Kupisch, Tanja LU (2019) In International Journal of Bilingualism 24(2). p.289-304
Abstract
This study investigates perceived accent in the two early-acquired languages of 21 adult-aged bilinguals with Italian as the heritage language (HL) and German as the majority language (ML). We test the relative ability of ‘age of onset (AoO) in German’ (range = 0–6 years) and ‘Italian use’ to predict perceived nativeness in Italian and German.
