Lexical Knowledge in L1 and L2 Third and Fifth Graders.
Verhallen, Marianne; Schoonen, Rob
Applied Linguistics, v19 n4 p452-70 Dec 1998
A study investigated the lexical knowledge of 40 Turkish-Dutch bilingual children aged 9 and 11 years and living in the Netherlands. Results indicate important differences between available lexical knowledge in the first language (L1) and second language (L2); children allot to L1 words less extensive and less varied meaning aspects than to L2 words when L2 is the medium of instruction.
