Balancing Bilinguals: Lexical-Semantic Production and Cognitive Processing in Children Learning Spanish and English.
Kohnert, Kathryn J.; Bates, Elizabeth; Hernandez, Arturo E.
Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, v42 n6 p1400-13 Dec 1999
This study investigated developmental changes in lexical production skills in early sequential bilinguals, in both Spanish and English, with 100 individuals of different ages whose first language was Spanish. A pattern was found of Spanish dominance in the youngest children, through relatively balanced Spanish and English skills in middle childhood, culminating in English dominance among adolescents and young adults.
