    A través de la observación semanal de los participantes y once entrevistas semiestructuradas realizadas con estudiantes bilingües de la segunda generación en una clase del árabe por hablantes nativos / hablantes de la lengua de origen (heritage language speakers) en City University de Nueva York (CUNY), hago investigación en las conexiones interdiscursivas entre la noción, por parte de los estudiantes, sobre 'el árabe roto' y el concepto de 'la adquisición incompleto' y / o 'la atrición' (Montrul, 2013). En este trabajo se aleja del concepto de dominio de la lengua hacia su performatividad para reconocer y apoyar diversos repertorios en movimiento.

    A través de l'observació setmanal dels participants i onze entrevistes semiestructurades realitzades amb estudiants bilingües de la segona generació en una classe de l'àrab per parlants nadius/parlants de la llengua d’origen (heritage language speakers) en City University de Nova York (CUNY), faig recerca en les connexions interdiscursivas entre la noció, per part dels estudiants, sobre ‘l’àrab trencat’ i el concepte de ‘l’adquisició incomplet' i/o 'l'atrició' (Montrul, 2013). En aquest treball s'allunya del concepte de domini de la llengua cap a la seva performativitat per tal de reconèixer i donar suport a diversos repertoris en moviment.

    Through weekly participant observations and eleven semi-structured interviews conducted with second-generation bilingual students in the Arabic for Native Speakers/Heritage Learners course at one of City University of New York’s (CUNY) senior colleges, I investigate the interdiscursive connections between the students’ notion of “broken Arabic” and the concept of “incomplete acquisition and/or attrition” (Montrul, 2013) from SLA research on heritage speakers. This paper moves away from the concept of proficiency towards performativity in order to recognize and support diverse repertoires in motion.

    A travers des observations participantes hebdomadaires et onze entretiens semi-structurés avec des élèves bilingues de deuxième génération du cours d'arabe pour locuteurs natives/patrimoine des apprenants à City University of New York, (CUNY), j'enquête sur les connexions interdiscursives entre la notion de "l'arabe cassé" et le concept "d'acquisition et / ou d'usure incomplète" (Montrul , 2013) à partir des études de la SLA (Acquisition de la deuxième langue) sur le patrimoine des locuteurs. Cet article se déplace de la notion de compétence vers la performativité afin de reconnaître et de soutenir divers répertoires en mouvement.
