Bilingual Lexicon: Implications for Studies of Language Choice.
Quay, Suzanne
Journal of Child Language, v22 n2 p369-87 Jun 1995
Bilingual case study of infant acquiring Spanish and English from birth to 1;10 is used to address whether young bilinguals differentiate between their languages based on language choice. Daily diary records and weekly video recordings in the two language contexts were used to construct the child's lexicon and establish that translation equivalents that make possible language choice are available from beginning of speech.
