La traducción de "Heritage Speaker" revisitado

¡Hola a todos!

Busqué a algunas hilas antigüas, pero de lo que encontré esa pregunta no fue resolvada. Busco una tradución para la frase "heritage speaker."

Muchos de Uds. ya sabrán que quiere esa palabra, pero para los demás, se usa "heritage speaker" específicamente en inglés para referir a una población quién aprendió un idioma minoritario como primer idioma desde la familia durante los años preescolares. Es común que esa persona o población se suela usar el idioma mayoritario de la comunidad más que su idioma familiar cuando comienzan en la escuela.

¡Gracias a antemano!

El término "lenguas de herencia" refiere a todas aquellas lenguas que se desenvuelven en contextos donde existe una lengua dominante. En general, refiere a lenguas indígenas o lenguas habladas por grupos inmigrantes. El estudio de las lenguas de herencia ha cobrado particular importancia en nuestra época (...)

I also found results by looking up hablantes de herencia. I didn't know this term though, I don't know if it's common. I would just explain what is it if I was writing an article or something about it.

Hola a todos!

Busqué en algunos hilos antiguos, pero no encontré esa pregunta resuelta . Busco una tradución para la frase "heritage speaker."

Muchos de Uds. ya sabrán que quiere decir/significa esa palabra, pero para el que no lo sepa, "heritage speaker" se usa en inglés, específicamente para referirse a una población que aprendió un idioma minoritario como primer idioma en su hogar durante su infancia . Es común que esa persona o población suela usar el idioma mayoritario de la comunidad más que su idioma familiar cuando comienza en la escuela.

¡Gracias a antemano!

Hilo masculino --> algunOs antiguOs.

Antiguo no lleva diéresis solo la llevarían güe o güI cuando se pronuncia la u, ya que con gua o guo siempre se pronuncia la u.

Sobre tu pregunta . Lengua heredada sería una opción válida aunque muy poco empleada. Yo usaría sin lugar a dudas lengua materna por ser la primera que se aprende.

NKM's lnk shows this has been asked before, but aileribel has given you the answer you need.

I looked it up when you first asked and found this site with an explanation

Spanish heritage speaker

I hoped it would be a bilingual site as it is based in California and I would have an instant translation, but when I realised it was not and you by now had a good post, I did not post.

It seems to me to be a way of reaching out to people who are fluent in another language. However, I dont think the term is used in the UK. When I was at school my English lessons were on grammar literature and increasing my vocabulary, I did not need to be taught how to speak [though we did have an exam in Spoken English] my French and Spanish lessons started at a much lower base. In many schools in cities in England they have a sizeable number of children where English is not their first language. This is dealt with by extra help.

This interesting article explains in part why they need to reach out to the children

New York Times

The link is to the article in English, but there is a link to it in Spanish too.

hispanohablantes - is the correct term but if a college wants to encourage using other language you may have to use their language

In English, I believe that a "heritage speaker" is equivalent to a "native speaker" of a language. In college textbooks you occasionally find the expression "heritage students" or heritage speakers of the language.

Soooo "Hablante nativo" should get it.

To be honest, "heritage speakers" are a subset of "native speaker", at least that's how we use it in studies I have done in linguistics. They reason the community is seperated out is because native speaker generally connotes total fluency in the language - Estudiante77, Jul 6, 2017
*in the classes not in the studies, pardon although it is used that way in studies too - Estudiante77, Jul 6, 2017
sorry to spam, I ran out of space, but heritage speakers may have spoken the language during early childhood, but may not have total comand over the language / have forgotten it over time. Just my two cents - Estudiante77, Jul 6, 2017

Daniela's answer may very well be correct, but I can say with great confidence that if one said "Heritage Speaker" to a native English speaker, virtually no one would have any clue what you are talking about.

I see, I guess it's more of a techincal term then a normal one - Estudiante77, Jul 6, 2017
I'm a native English speaker, I should clarify :) - Estudiante77, Jul 6, 2017
Good point! - rac1, Jul 6, 2017

I don't know if there is a technical word for it but I would say "un niño que aprendió el idioma de sus padres durante la niñez" Or "un niño que hablaba el idioma materno en el hogar".

I know a lot of kids like that in my country. Most of them understood and still understand their parents' mother tongue but usually answered in Spanish-
