This reprint offers a collection of empirical research on how Spanish heritage speakers process language input. It brings together ten contributions from varied theoretical and methodological perspectives, providing a comprehensive overview of the field and a solid foundation for future research on Spanish as a Heritage Language (SHL). Research on SHL has gained prominence as a lens for examining the linguistic, social, and cognitive mechanisms underlying its intergenerational transmission. Increased mobility among Spanish-speaking populations has intensified attention to how heritage Spanish is acquired, taught, and used. Its expansion-especially in the United States-has generated extensive demolinguistic, sociolinguistic, and applied research on the factors shaping its transmission and use. At the same time, migration flows in Europe, Asia, and within Spanish-speaking communities have heightened interest in how Spanish and its varieties are maintained and learned.
