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…
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…
