Annotation

This paper compares the lexico-semantic knowledge of 9 and 11 year old monolingual Dutch and bilingual Turkish children, focusing on aspects relevant for school success. The analysis shows that the bilingual Turkish children allocate less varied and less extensive meanings to Dutch words.
