Verhoeven, Ludo Th.; Boeschoten, Hendrik E.
Applied Psycholinguistics, v7 n3 p241-56 Sep 1986
First-language acquisition of Turkish 4- to 8-year-olds in a Dutch submersion environment in the Netherlands was studied. Investigation of the development of lexical, morphosyntactic, and pragmatic abilities and comparison with children in Turkey suggested that the acquisition of first-language skills by Turkish children in the Netherlands is stagnated.
