Bilingual advantage in vocabulary development
Although extensive research has been conducted on bilingual vocabulary acquisition, there is still no consensus on how to assess vocabulary development in bilingual or multilingual children under three, given the complexity of learning words in two languages. This study investigates the developmental trajectories of productive and receptive vocabularies in 157 preschool-aged mono- and bilingual children aged 3 to 6, specifically focusing on Turki…
How to juggle languages
This study investigates how dual language learning preschooler’s code-switching relates to their linguistic and cognitive strengths and challenges. Utilizing a cross-sectional approach, we examined preschool-aged children in Switzerland and Germany acquiring a societal language (German or French) together with a heritage language (Italian or Turkish). We hypothesized that age-related maturation in verbal short-term memory, alongside language abil…
A Cross-Language Investigation of Stimulus- and Person-Level Characteristics That Determine Phonemic Processing in Monolingual French- and German-Speaking Preschoolers
Phonemic processing is largely influenced by how stimulus-specific characteristics of a language are computed, but person-level variables represent important moderators as well. The current study investigates how such characteristics, in parallel, affect receptive-level phonemic processing across the preschool age, and whether these effects are comparable across different languages. Using a child-friendly 'odd-man-out' discrimination task, we exa…
Longitudinal Examination of Potential Bilingual Advantage Effects for Selective Attention and Cognitive Functioning in Young Children
A good deal of research purports that bilingualism has a positive effect on some aspects of cognitive functioning. However, this effect is not consistent, and little research examines trajectories of cognitive skill development in bilingual children. Moreover, it remains unclear whether different types of bilingualism impact how cognitive abilities unfold. The reported study investigates children’s data from three linguistic groups (179 sequentia…
Language proficiency predictors of code-switching behavior in dual-language-learning children
Code-switching, switching between different languages within the same conversation, is a prominent feature in bilingual communication. This study aimed to elucidate to what extent the linguistic abilities and age of dual-language-learning preschoolers influence the frequency and purposes of code-switching ( compensatory , to bridge linguistic gaps; preferential , to express content as fluently as possible; pragmatic , to phrase something appropri…
