Torregrossa, Jacopo; Eisenbeiß, Sonja; Bongartz, Christiane – Language Learning, 2023
Most studies on bilingual children's metalinguistic awareness assess metalinguistic awareness using monolingual tasks. This may not reflect how a bilingual's languages dynamically interact with each other in creating metalinguistic representations. We tested 33 Greek-Italian bilingual children (8-11 years) for metalinguistic awareness using…

Serratrice, Ludovica; Sorace, Antonella; Filiaci, Francesca; Baldo, Michela – Bilingualism: Language and Cognition, 2009
A number of recent studies have argued that bilingual children's language comprehension and production may be affected by cross-linguistic influence. The overall aim of this study was to investigate whether the ability to judge the grammaticality of a construction in one language is affected by knowledge of the corresponding construction in the…

Ibrahim, Raphiq; Eviatar, Zohar; Aharon-Peretz, Judith – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2007
The study examined two questions: (1) do the greater phonological awareness skills of bilinguals affect reading performance; (2) to what extent do the orthographic characteristics of a language influence reading performance and how does this interact with the effects of phonological awareness. We estimated phonological metalinguistic abilities and…
