About

Heritage Language Syntax is a platform built around the Heritage Language Syntax (HLS) workshop series. 

HLS focuses on heritage and/or minority language syntax, with particular attention to language change in contact and its bearings on our knowledge and understanding of syntactic theory. Everybody with an interest in heritage language and syntax is welcome to join!

HLS stems from the ERC project Microcontact. Language variation and change from the Italian heritage perspective, which was carried out at Utrecht University, with PI Roberta D'Alessandro.
