Annotation

This study shows no advantage of Romani-Bulgarian bilingualism with regard to the development of children's false belief reasoning. The bilingual group did possess a better comprehension of evidentials than the monolingual Bulgarian group, probably linked to the markings' linguistic character. There is contradictory evidence concerning the relation of Theory of Mind and evidentiality comprehension.
