Clinical Linguistics & Phonetics, v25 n11-12 p989-997 Nov 2011
The potential impact of bilingualism on children's language development has emerged as a crucial concern for Turkey, but so far it has not been addressed from the point of view of language disorders. This short review examines the potential impact of bilingual language development for language impairments in Turkey, with special emphasis on the largest minority population speaking Kurdish and Turkish.
