2023 The role of existing language knowledge in bilingual and multilingual toddlers’ repetition of cross-linguistic and language-specific nonwords Linguistic Approaches to Bilingualism 13:3, pp. 315–342 | Article
Previous studies have shown that bilingual children typically score more poorly on nonword repetition (NWR) tasks than monolingual peers, which has been attributed to bilinguals’ lower proficiency in the language that the NWR task is based on. To enable fairer assessments of bilingual children,… read more

We propose a novel experimental method to examine if children’s ability to acquire linguistic regularities… read more

Schiller and Ellen van Zanten (eds.), pp. 152–164 | Article
This study tested Hulstijn’s (2011) hypothesis that adult native speakers share
the ability to process every-day speech, although older people do so more slowly
than younger people. In two segmentation tasks, segments of speech were
presented consisting of two to four highly common words. In the… read more
