Yao, Xiaofang; Gruba, Paul – Australian Review of Applied Linguistics, 2020
Increased attention to urban diversity as a site of study has fostered the recent development of linguistic landscape studies. To date, however, much of the research in this area has concerned the use and spread of English to the exclusion of other global languages. In a case study situated in Box Hill, a large suburb of Melbourne, we adopted a…

Gajo, Laurent; Berthoud, Anne-Claude – European Journal of Higher Education, 2020
This article sets out from the observation that internationalization and contextualization of scientific knowledge increasingly appear to be in conflict, raising the question of the part played by language in the construction, transmission and dissemination of such knowledge. We will start by emphasizing the importance of considering language not…

Marecka, Marta; Wrembel, Magdalena; Otwinowska, Agnieszka; Szewczyk, Jakub; Banasik-Jemielniak, Natalia; Wodniecka, Zofia – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2020
Bilingual language development might be characterized by transfer, deceleration, and/or acceleration, the first two being relevant for the language impairment diagnosis. Studies on bilingual children's productive phonology show evidence of transfer, but little is known about deceleration in this population. Here, we focused on phonological…

Purpose: We compared novel word learning in 2nd-grade children with typical development who were Spanish-English bilinguals to English monolinguals to understand word learning in bilingual children. Method: Children (monolinguals n = 167, bilinguals n = 76) engaged in 5 computer-based tasks that assessed word learning in 6 different contexts. The…

Laing, Catherine E. – Language Learning and Development, 2019
Onomatopoeia are disproportionately high in number in infants' early words compared to adult language. Studies of infant language perception have proposed an iconic advantage for onomatopoeia, which may make them easier for infants to learn. This study analyses infants' early word production to show a phonological motivation for onomatopoeia in…

Schlaman, Heather – International Multilingual Research Journal, 2019
Efforts to understand disparities in educational outcomes between students designated as English Learners (ELs) and their monolingual English-speaking peers have focused on factors that limit ELs' access to college, including quality of high school preparation. Central to quality high school preparation are schools' curricular structures--the…

Ladas, Aristea I.; Carroll, Daniel J.; Vivas, Ana B. – Child Development, 2015
Recent research indicates that bilingual children are more proficient in resolving cognitive conflict than monolinguals. However, the replicability of such findings has been questioned, with poor control of participants' socioeconomic status (SES) as a possible confounding factor. Two experiments are reported here, in which the main attentional…

Schwob, Salomé; Skoruppa, Katrin – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: Over the last decades, many studies have documented the clinical potential of nonword repetition (NWR) tasks for detecting developmental language disorder in mono- (MON) and bilingual (BIL) children by unveiling their difficulties in short-term memory and phonological accuracy. However, the precise nature of the nonwords to be used and…

Chamorro, Gloria; Janke, Vikki – International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism, 2022
Most research reporting that bilingual children exhibit enhanced cognitive skills and social awareness relative to their monolingual peers focusses on children raised and educated bilingually, making it difficult to pinpoint the degree of second language exposure necessary for such advantages to materialise. The current study measures the social…

Mai, Ziyin; Yip, Virginia – International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism, 2022
Early trilingual development is an excellent testing ground for input reduction effects on acquisition outcomes. This article reports a study investigating input-outcome relations in a child Leo in Hong Kong, who was addressed to in Mandarin, Cantonese and later also in English by caretakers through 'one caretaker-one language' and 'one day-one…

Goossens, Sue – Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 2022
While much research has focused on how Western schools contain or silence the increasing multilingualism of their pupils, this paper investigates how a Dutch-medium school in Brussels has decided to take a different approach by branding itself as multilingual. Based on sociolinguistic-ethnographic fieldwork, it will show that teachers invested in…

Ballweg, Sandra – International Journal of Multilingualism, 2022
Family Language Policy never takes place only in private but is embedded in larger discourses in society or rather in several societies to which the multilingual family is linked. One main point of contact of families and discourses on language is the education system. Previous research has shown that bilingual families orient towards teachers for…
