Abstract

The author discusses a way to apply the notion of the linguistic stereotype in foreign language teaching. In attempt to supplement the existing definitions, she researches the linguistic stereotype of the heritage speaker of Polish among American students. She presents a list of features of a stereotypical heritage speaker of Polish. The list will serve as the basis for a closed questionnaire and further research.
