Annotation

This paper explored how L2 exposure early in life modulates toddler word recognition by comparing German–English bilingual and German monolingual toddlers’ recognition of words that overlapped to diverse levels. Outcomes indicate a notable role for L1 phonological experience on L2 word recognition in early bilingual word recognition.
