Idiosyncratic Variation in the Application of Phonological Processes in Early Bilingual Acquisition.
Schnitzer, Marc L.; Krasinski, Emily
Language Sciences, v25 n1 p1-14 Jan 2003
Reports on a study of the early lexical acquisition of two children who acquired Spanish and English simultaneously. Data provide strong counter evidence to Faingold's (1996) proposal that children acquiring languages not closely related tend to favor a reduction strategy, whereas those acquiring closely related languages favor a maintenance strategy.
