How do children develop bilingual competence? Do bilingual children
develop language in the same way as monolinguals? Set in the
context of findings on language development, this book examines the
acquisition of English and Spanish by two brothers in the first six
years of their lives. Based on in-depth and meticulous analyses of
naturalistic data, it explores how the systems of both languages
affect each other as the children develop, and how different levels
of exposure to each language influence the nature of acquisition.
The author demonstrates that the children's grammars and lexicons
follow a developmental path similar to that of monolinguals, but
that cross-linguistic interactions affecting lexical, semantic and
discourse-pragmatic aspects arise in Spanish when exposure to it
diminishes around the age of four. The first of its kind, this
original study is a must-read for students and researchers in
bilingualism, child development, language acquisition and language
contact.
