Abstract
The study investigates if Spanish-English heritage bilinguals overextend the English progressive aspect's futurity in Spanish interpretation, examining generational influence. Preliminary findings suggest generational status affects acceptability of progressive and present indicative forms. The study sheds light on convergent simplification and generational impact on Spanish-English bilingual heritage language performance.
Keywords: future-time expressions, heritage bilingual speakers, periphrastic future, English progressive aspect, generational influence.
