Naomi Nagy (Faculty) and Timothy Gadanidis (PhD Candidate) have published "Looking for Covariation in Heritage Italian in Toronto 1". This paper is part of The Coherence of Linguistic Communities.
This paper analyses the degree of coherence in Heritage Italian speech to understand the degree of coherence in a community's linguistic system. Nagy and Gadanidis find that the same speakers rarely have the highest usage rates across the variables and there is little correlation to factors expected to affect heritage language speakers, as in a similar analysis of Heritage Cantonese.
