Abstract

From the statistic analysis of the 14 years’ publications of the Heritage Language Journal, this paper summarizes six key topics in this field: (1) the difference between heritage language and native language; (2) the defining criterion of heritage language speakers: language competence and cultural associations; (3) variant selection in heritage language education; (4) the influence of social factors on the attitudes to heritage languages; (5) incomplete linguistic rights as a heritage language; (6) community-based heritage language education policy. These research results are then evaluated from linguistic, pedagogical and sociological perspectives.
