Words as Things: Development of Word Concept by Bilingual Children.
Bialystok, Ellen
Studies in Second Language Acquisition, v9 n2 p133-40 Jun 1987
The development of the concept of word is discussed in terms of specific advantages that might be available to bilingual children when compared with their monolingual peers. Three studies are reviewed in which bilingual children show more advanced understanding of some aspects of the concept of word than do monolingual children (Author/LMO)
