This book investigates the language of Polish-English bilingual
children raised in the United Kingdom and their Polish monolingual
counterparts. It exemplifies the lexico-grammatical knowledge of
both groups and uses corpus-based grammatical inference in order to
establish the source of the impediment of the minority language of
the bilingual group. The author applies the methodology of corpus
linguistics and narrative analysis to study the language of young
bilinguals. He presupposes the caveat that a child-type competence
exists and can be contrasted with an adult-type competence. He uses
a variety of corpus frequency measures to compare the specific
stylometric features of bilingual child narratives and their
monolingual counterparts. The book focuses on how bilingual and
monolingual language differs in areas such as the lexicon,
morphosyntax, and semantics.
