Meir, Natalia – Journal of Child Language, 2023
Large individual differences in language skills are well documented in monolingual children (e.g., Kidd, Donnelly & Christiansen, 2018). In bilinguals, the broad variation is even more pronounced. Interestingly, some bilingual children might be weak in their Heritage Language (HL, also labeled as Minority Language, Home Language, Community…

Ní Chéileachair, Fódhla; Chondrogianni, Vasiliki; Sorace, Antonella; Paradis, Johanne; De Aguiar, Vânia – Journal of Child Language, 2023
The current study sought to investigate whether word properties can facilitate the identification of developmental language disorder (DLD) in sequential bilinguals by analyzing properties in nouns and verbs in L2 spontaneous speech as potential DLD markers. Measures of semantic (imageability, concreteness), lexical (frequency, age of acquisition)…

Scherger, Anna-Lena; Kizilirmak, Jasmin M.; Folta-Schoofs, Kristian – Journal of Child Language, 2023
The aim of the present study was to investigate the acquisition of ditransitive structures beyond production. We conducted an elicitation task (production) and a picture-sentence matching task measuring accuracy and response times (comprehension). We examined German five-to seven-year-old typically developing children and an adult control group.…

Boonen, Nathalie; Kloots, Hanne; Nurzia, Pietro; Gillis, Steven – Journal of Child Language, 2023
Speaking intelligibly is an important achievement in children's language development. How far do congenitally severe-to-profound hearing-impaired children who received a cochlear implant (CI) in the first two years of their life advance on the path to intelligibility in comparison to children with typical hearing (NH)? Spontaneous speech samples…

Ramon-Casas, Marta; Cortes, Susana; Benet, Ariadna; Lleo, Conxita; Bosch, Laura – Journal of Child Language, 2023
This study investigates perception and production of the Catalan mid-vowel /e/-/[epsilon]/ contrast by two groups of 4.5-year-old Catalan-Spanish bilingual children, differing in language dominance. Perception was assessed with an XAB discrimination task involving familiar words and non-words. Production accuracy was measured using a familiar-word…

Yu, Haopeng; Wang, Haiyan; He, Xiaowei – Journal of Child Language, 2023
This paper investigates the comprehension of Relative Clauses (RCs) in 15 Mandarin children with suspected Specific Language Impairment (SLI) (aged between 4; 5 and 6; 0) and 29 typically developing (TD) controls. Results from a Character Picture Matching Task indicate that (i) the subject RC was better understood than the object RC in children…

Castillo, Eva; Pronina, Mariia; Hübscher, Iris; Prieto, Pilar – Journal of Child Language, 2023
Over recent decades much research has analyzed the relevance of 9- to 20-month-old infants' early imitation skills (object- and language-based imitation) for language development. Yet there have been few systematic comparisons of the joint relevance of these imitative behaviors later on in development. This correlational study investigated whether…
