How detailed do measures of bilingual language experience need to be? A cost–benefit analysis using the Q-BEx questionnaire
What is the optimal level of questionnaire detail required to measure bilingual language experience? This empirical evaluation compares alternative measures of language exposure of varying cost (i.e., questionnaire detail) in terms of their performance as predictors of oral language outcomes. The alternative measures were derived from Q-BEx questionnaire data collected from a diverse sample of 121 heritage bilinguals (5–9 years of age) growing up…
Annual Research Review: How did Covid ‐19 affect young children's language environment and language development? A scoping review
A diverse body of research conducted since the start of Covid‐19 has investigated the impact of the pandemic on children's environments and their language development. This scoping review synthesises the peer‐reviewed research literature on this topic between 2020 and 2023. Following the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology and the PRISMA extension for scoping reviews, we searched five databases for studies that fulfilled the following inclusion c…
Unpacking the Richness of Language Experience as a Predictor of Bilingual Children’s Language Proficiency
The richness of bilingual children’s language experience is typically expressed as a composite score using parental questionnaire data. This study unpacks the concept of input richness by examining one such composite score (Q-BEx) to determine whether it reliably predicts children’s language abilities, is no more complex than required, and as user-friendly as possible. Data were collected from 173 bilingual children aged 5 to 8 across three count…
How to quantify bilingual experience? Findings from a Delphi consensus survey
While most investigations of bilingualism document participants’ language background, there is an absence of consensus on how to quantify bilingualism. The high number of different language background questionnaires used by researchers and practitioners jeopardises data comparability and cross-pollination between research and practice. Using the Delphi consensus survey method, we asked 132 panellists (researchers, speech and language therapists, …
Raising bilingual autistic children in the UK: At the intersection between neurological and language diversity
We discuss these findings and offer future directions for research, practice, and battling stigmas around bilingualism and autism
A review of questionnaires quantifying bilingual experience in children: Do they document the same constructs
Questionnaires documenting children's bilingual experience have been used frequently in research on language and cognitive development. However, there has been little investigation of the comparability between these tools. In this review, we (i) provide a list of available questionnaires used to quantify bilingual experience in children; (ii) identify the components of bilingual experience documented across questionnaires; and (iii) discuss the c…

Introducing the Special Issue: Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Code-Switching
Research on code-switching was the province of specialists in linguistics alone in the latter part of the twentieth century and is still a valuable source of insights into the human language faculty
