A Developmental Study of Spanish-English Production in Bilingual Children.
Garcia, Eugene E.; Trujillo, Alex
Journal of Educational Psychology, v71 n2 p161-68 Apr 1979
Spanish-English bilingual and English monolingual children imitated Spanish and English lexical and syntactic constructions. Lexical items contained "high risks" phonemes. Sentence constructions emphasized plurality, possessiveness, and adjective-noun word order. Monolingual and bilingual children did not differ on English imitations; bilinguals scored higher than monolinguals on all Spanish tasks. (Author/RD)
