  • How detailed do measures of bilingual language experience need to be? A cost–benefit analysis using the Q-BEx questionnaire

    Open AccessCécile De Cat, Arief Gusnanto et al.ARTICLEBilingualism Language and Cognition2025

    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…

  • Unpacking the Richness of Language Experience as a Predictor of Bilingual Children’s Language Proficiency

    Open AccessSharon Unsworth, Arief Gusnanto et al.ARTICLEJournal of Child Language2025

    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…

  • The emergence of subjects in Lebanese two-year-olds

    Open AccessLayal ABBOUD, Lina Choueiri et al.ARTICLEJournal of Child Language2024

    In Lebanese Arabic, lexical subjects may occur before or after verbs, but only before non-verbal predicates. Analysis of spontaneous language samples from 19 two-year-old children shows that postverbal (VS) and preverbal (SV) subjects emerge simultaneously. The youngest children displayed no VS-SV difference in frequency. A slight preference for SV is observed in older children. No preference for SV subjects was found in the speech of the mothers…

  • How to quantify bilingual experience? Findings from a Delphi consensus survey

    Open AccessCécile De Cat, Draško Kašćelan et al.ARTICLEBilingualism Language and Cognition2023

    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, …

  • A review of questionnaires quantifying bilingual experience in children

    Open AccessDraško Kašćelan, Philippe Prévost et al.ARTICLEBilingualism Language and Cognition2022

    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…

  • Bilingual language development in autism

    Open AccessPhilippe Prévost, Laurice TullerARTICLELinguistic Approaches to…2022

    Bilingual language development in children with autism is a new field; the entire body of literature, which is so far sparse, has been published within the last ten years. The potential impact of this research is, however, very high, due to increasing numbers of children growing up bilingually in many countries crossed with the rising number of children being diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Parents and practitioners need guidelines…

  • Object clitic production in French-speaking L2 children and children with SLI

    Open AccessMaureen Scheidnes, Laurice Tuller et al.ARTICLELinguistic Approaches to…2021

    This study examines French object clitic production in 20 typically developing L2 children (L1 English) compared to 19 monolingual children with SLI. We collected spontaneous and elicitation data twice at a one-year interval (T1, T2) in order to better evaluate the impact of age- and time-related factors on the L2-SLI comparison, as well as the impact of proficiency and working memory on object clitic production. The data revealed considerable gr…

  • Syntactic complexity and verbal working memory in bilingual children with and without Developmental Language Disorder

    Open AccessRacha Zebib, Laurice Tuller et al.ARTICLEFirst Language2020

    Sentence repetition (SR) tasks have been shown to be excellent indicators of Developmental Language Disorder (DLD). However, there is still no consensus about which core ability they measure: language vs. Verbal Short-Term Memory (VSTM) and Verbal Working Memory (WM). Moreover, very few studies have investigated whether variables predicting SR performance differ in children with DLD compared to typically developing (TD) children, especially conce…

  • Identification of bilingual children with Specific Language Impairment in France

    Open AccessLetícia Almeida, Sandrine Ferré et al.ARTICLELinguistic Approaches to…2017

    We report on the usefulness of three LITMUS tools in distinguishing bilingual children with SLI (Bi-SLI) from bilingual children with typical development (Bi-TD), in France: LITMUS-NWR-FR (non-word repetition), LITMUS-SR-FR (sentence repetition), and LITMUS-PABIQ (parental questionnaire). 82 bilingual children, aged 5–8, who had all been exposed to both French and either Arabic, Portuguese or Turkish, recruited both in ordinary schools and in SLP…

  • Wh- questions in child L2 French

    Open AccessPhilippe Prévost, Nelleke Strik et al.ARTICLESecond language Research2014Cited by: 1References: 3

    This study investigates how derivational complexity interacts with first language (L1) properties, second language (L2) input, age of first exposure to the target language, and length of exposure in child L2 acquisition. We compared elicited production of wh-questions in French in two groups of 15 participants each, one with L1 English (mean age 8 years 10 months or 8;10) and one with L1 Dutch (mean age 6;3), which were further subdivided into su…
