Rochanavibhata, Sirada; Marian, Viorica – Language Learning and Development, 2022
Maternal scaffolding and four-year-old children's linguistic skills were examined during toy play. Participants were 21 American-English monolingual and 21 Thai monolingual mother-child dyads. Results revealed cross-cultural differences in conversation styles between the two groups. American dyads adopted a high-elaborative style relative to Thai…

Abdelgafar, Ghada Mohammed; Moawad, Ruba AbdelMatloub – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2015
This study aimed to explore the differences between Arabic-English bilingual and monolingual Arabic children on a battery of executive functions. Prior research on the influence of bilingualism on cognitive abilities and executive functions has shown mixed results. Some results suggested that bilinguals perform significantly better than…

Hwang, Hyesung G.; Markson, Lori – Journal of Child Language, 2018
Children categorize native-accented speakers as local and non-native-accented speakers as foreign, suggesting they use accent (i.e., phonological proficiency) to determine social group membership. However, it is unclear if accent is the strongest--AND ONLY--group marker children use to determine social group membership, or whether other aspects of…

Soleimani, Hassan; Rahmanian, Mahboubeh – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2018
Research in multilingualism has shown that bilinguals have enhanced executive function (e.g., Donnelly et al. in "Proceedings of the 37th annual conference of the cognitive science society" 2015; Green in Bilingualism Lang Cognit 1(02):67-81, 1998. https://bibliotheek.ehb.be:2102/10.1017/S1366728998000133); however, this with many other areas in…

Turnbull, Blake – International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism, 2018
In many environments in which foreign languages (FL) are taught, the emergent bilingual status of FL learners is often overlooked. The dominant monolingual language pedagogies of conventional FL classrooms do not fundamentally recognise the natural interaction of the first language (L1) and second language (L2) in the learners' minds. Although the…

Carlie, Johanna; Sahlén, Birgitta; Nirme, Jens; Andersson, Ketty; Rudner, Mary; Johansson, Roger; Gulz, Agneta; Brännström, K. Jonas – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: This study reports on the development of an auditory passage comprehension task for Swedish primary school children of cultural and linguistic diversity. It also reports on their performance on the task in quiet and in noise. Method: Eighty-eight children aged 7-9 years and showing normal hearing participated. The children were divided…

Park, Jisook; Miller, Carol A.; Sanjeevan, Teenu; Van Hell, Janet G.; Weiss, Daniel J.; Mainela-Arnold, Elina – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2021
Background & Aims: Given that standardized language measures alone are inadequate for identifying functionally defined developmental language disorder (fDLD), this study investigated whether non-linguistic cognitive abilities (procedural learning, motor functions, executive attention, processing speed) can increase the prediction accuracy of…

Dracos, Melisa; Requena, Pablo E. – Language Acquisition: A Journal of Developmental Linguistics, 2023
The Spanish subjunctive mood (SUBJ) is said to be highly vulnerable in heritage language (HL) acquisition. However, there is little controlled research on HL-speaking children acquiring the various Spanish SUBJ contexts, so we do not have a clear picture of when, how, or why heritage speakers (HSs) develop in the SUBJ as they do. This study tests…

Minakova, Valeriya; Canagarajah, Suresh – International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism, 2023
This paper explores language beliefs and writing practices of an international scholar in Biochemistry working at a large U.S. research university. Although the participant articulated monolingual ideologies and a desire to become like a 'native speaker,' he did not consider advanced writing skills in English a prerequisite for publishing in…

Langeloo, Annegien; Mascareño Lara, Mayra; Deunk, Marjolein I.; Klitzing, Nikolai F.; Strijbos, Jan-Willem – Review of Educational Research, 2019
Teacher-child interactions are the most important factor that determines the quality of early-childhood education. A systematic review was conducted to gain a better understanding of the nature of teacher-child interactions that multilingual children are exposed to, and of how they differ from teacher-child interactions of monolingual children.…

Kehoe, Margaret; Havy, Mélanie – Journal of Child Language, 2019
This study examines the influence of language-internal (frequency and complexity of linguistic properties), language-external (percent French input, socioeconomic status (SES), and gender), and lexical factors (size of total and French vocabulary) on the phonological production abilities of monolingual and bilingual French-speaking children, aged…

Stoehr, Antje; Benders, Titia; van Hell, Janet G.; Fikkert, Paula – Language Learning and Development, 2019
Bilingual children are often exposed to non-native speech through their parents. Yet, little is known about the relation between bilingual preschoolers' speech production and their speech input. The present study investigated the production of voice onset time (VOT) by Dutch-German bilingual preschoolers and their sequential bilingual mothers. The…

Grundy, John G.; Keyvani Chahi, Aram – Developmental Science, 2017
Previous research has shown that bilingual children outperform their monolingual peers on a wide variety of tasks measuring executive functions (EF). However, recent failures to replicate this finding have cast doubt on the idea that the bilingual experience leads to domain-general cognitive benefits. The present study explored the role of…

Mak, Willem M.; Tribushinina, Elena; Lomako, Julia; Gagarina, Natalia; Abrosova, Ekaterina; Sanders, Ted – Journal of Child Language, 2017
Production studies show that both Russian-speaking children with specific language impairment (SLI) and bilingual children for whom Russian is a non-dominant language have difficulty distinguishing between the near-synonymous connectives "i" "and" and "a" "and/but." "I" is a preferred connective…

Yang, Jing – Second Language Research, 2021
Word-initial stops in Mandarin and English show a distinctive phonological categorization but a similar phonetic realization along the VOT (Voice Onset Time) continuum. Previous research reported that native Mandarin adults produce measurably longer long-lag VOTs than native English adults. The present study examined whether and how the difference…
