Creese, Angela; Blackledge, Adrian – Modern Language Journal, 2010
This article reports on research that questions commonsense understandings of a bilingual pedagogy predicated on what Cummins refers to as the "two solitudes" assumption. It sets out to describe a flexible bilingual approach to language teaching and learning in Chinese and Gujarati community language schools in the United Kingdom. We…

Paradis, Johanne – Language Learning, 2010
This study investigated whether bilingual-monolingual differences would be apparent in school-age children's use and knowledge of English verb morphology and whether differences would be influenced by amount of exposure to English, complexity of the morphological structure, or the type of task given. French-English bilinguals (mean age = 6;10)…

Raynolds, Laura B.; Uhry, Joanna K. – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2010
This study compared the English spelling of native Spanish-speaking children receiving English-only instruction with monolingual native English speaking children at the end of kindergarten. In invented spelling, young bilingual children can show us how they perceive the unique sounds of English by the way they map English letters onto non-Spanish…

Macleod, Andrea A. N.; Stoel-Gammon, Carol – Applied Psycholinguistics, 2009
The goal of this study was to examine the extent to which bilingual speakers maintain language-specific phonological contrasts for homorganic stops when a cue is shared across both languages. To this end, voice onset time (VOT) was investigated in three groups of participants: early bilinguals speakers of Canadian French and Canadian English (n =…

Bialystok, Ellen – Developmental Science, 2009
Morton and Harper (2007 ) argue that research presented in support of a bilingual advantage in the development of executive control has been confounded with social class, the actual mechanism for group differences. As evidence, they report a study in which a small group of monolingual and bilingual 6- and 7-year-olds performed similarly on a Simon…

Kovacs, Agnes Melinda – Developmental Science, 2009
In their first years, children's understanding of mental states seems to improve dramatically, but the mechanisms underlying these changes are still unclear. Such "theory of mind" (ToM) abilities may arise during development, or have an innate basis, developmental changes reflecting limitations of other abilities involved in ToM tasks (e.g.…

Siegal, Michael; Iozzi, Laura; Surian, Luca – Cognition, 2009
The purpose of the two experiments reported here was to investigate whether bilingualism confers an advantage on children's conversational understanding. A total of 163 children aged 3-6 years were given a Conversational Violations Test to determine their ability to identify responses to questions as violations of Gricean maxims of conversation…

Laurent, Angelique; Martinot, Clara – Journal of Early Childhood Literacy, 2009
From studies of bilingual education practices, some authors have suggested that bilingualism, in a favourable environment, facilitates development of metaphonological abilities. In a monolingual context, these abilities develop in interaction with literacy. The objective of the present study is to determine if bilingual children have some…

Kazzazi, Kerstin – International Journal of Multilingualism, 2011
This paper deals with cross-linguistic influence (CLI) in early trilingualism involving the languages German, English and Farsi. The data come from the case study of the author's two children growing up in a trilingual family within a monolingual German-speaking environment. Specific types of CLI from the non-dominant language Farsi on German and…

Bylund, Emanuel; Jarvis, Scott – Bilingualism: Language and Cognition, 2011
The finding that speakers of aspect languages encode event endpoints to a lesser extent than do speakers of non-aspect languages has led to the hypothesis that there is a relationship between grammatical aspect and event conceptualization (e.g., von Stutterheim and Nuse, 2003). The present study concerns L1 event conceptualization in 40 L1…

Rhys, Mirain; Thomas, Enlli Môn – International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism, 2013
Previous studies have highlighted early differences in bilinguals' rate of language acquisition in comparison with monolinguals. However, these differences seem to disappear with increasing age and exposure to the language, and do so quicker in dominant community languages than in minority status languages. This study aimed to replicate these…

Little, David, Ed.; Leung, Constant, Ed.; Van Avermaet, Piet – Multilingual Matters, 2013
Diversity--social, cultural, linguistic and ethnic--poses a challenge to all educational systems. Some authorities, schools and teachers look upon it as a problem, an obstacle to the achievement of national educational goals, while for others it offers new opportunities. Successive PISA reports have laid bare the relative lack of success in…

Topbas, Seyhun; Kopkalli-Yavuz, Handan – Clinical Linguistics & Phonetics, 2008
The purpose of this study is to investigate the acquisition patterns of sonorant+obstruent coda clusters in Turkish to determine whether Turkish data support the prediction the Sonority Sequencing Principle (SSP) makes as to which consonant (i.e. C1 or C2) is more likely to be preserved in sonorant+obstruent clusters, and the error patterns of…

Velazquez-Mendoza, Omar – ProQuest LLC, 2010
This dissertation focuses on the apparent linguistic discontinuity reflected in notarial texts from the twelfth to the thirteenth century in the Iberian Peninsula. Particular attention is given to the historical development of Spanish personal a (the direct object animacy marker), which can be used to trace the communicative continuity that must…

Schoenpflug, Ute; Klische, Felicitas – Educational Psychology, 2010
Bilingual German fourth-graders are expected to develop greater linguistic awareness than monolingual children and therefore should habitually apply different text-processing strategies compared with German monolingual fourth-graders when comprehending and recalling a text. Bilingual children are expected to process texts from the bottom up, from…
