Annotation

Acquisitionists generally assume a relation between code-mixing in young bilingual and trilingual children and language dominance. This cross-sectional inquiry explored the possible relation between code-mixing and language dominance in 122 children raised in Spain or Germany. They were bilingual, trilingual or multilingual, the latter acquiring more than three languages.
