One of the fundamental principles of sociolinguistics is no single
person speaks in the same way all the time. This book explores
variation across registers in Spanish as a heritage language.
Additionally, it examines second language learners since Spanish is
also their non-dominant language. This work analyzes several
linguistic features including discourse particles, contractions,
and various lexical choices. The results indicate that both
heritage and second language speakers show linguistic variation in
their Spanish across registers. The results also reveal some
quantitative as well as qualitative differences between the two
groups of speakers, which have important pedagogical implications
for the teaching and learning of heritage languages. This book
contributes to further our understanding of bilingualism by
providing evidence of variation in speakers' non-dominant language.
This is an important finding since it shows that even when the use
of the language is largely limited to a particular domain
(home/family interactions for heritage speakers and classroom
interactions for second language learners), we can still find
register variation.
