Annotation

This study distinguishes cases of linguistic and cultural impact in the early English of a trilingual child, studied in the home environment, which may refer to the language of the main input provider -in this case the mother-, providing insight into input-linked processes and the mode in which parental background may also affect the child's discourse abilities in circumstances where input is restricted to one parent in the home.
