Revisiting the Research Findings on Heritage Language Learning: Three Interpretive Frames.

Danesi, Marcel

Canadian Modern Language Review, v47 n4 p650-59 Jun 1991

Proposes that heritage language education research findings in Canada fall within three interpretive frames, involving (1) interdependence, which posits that languages complement each other; (2) narrativity, which suggests that there is a narrative structure to the developing mind; and (3) cognitive enhancement, which posits that language and cognitive processes are interdependent.
