Aims and Objectives: Bilingualism is a complex construct, it can be difficult to define model. This paper proposes that the field of bilingualism draw from other fields psychology, by integrating advanced psychometric models incorporate both categorical continuous properties. These unify widespread use bilingual monolingual groups exist in literature with recent proposals should viewed as variable. Approach: In paper, we highlight two potential interest: factor mixture model...
Code-switching is a common phenomenon in bilingual communities, but little known about parents' code-switching when speaking to their infants. In pre-registered study, we identified instances of day-long at-home audio recordings 21 French-English families Montreal, Canada, who provided infant was 10 and 18 months old. Overall, rates infant-directed were low, averaging 7 times per hour (6 1,000 words) at increasing 28 (18 months. Parents code-switched more between sentences than within...
Models of monolingual literacy propose that reading acquisition builds upon children's semantic, phonological, and orthographic knowledge. The relationships between these components vary cross-linguistically, yet it is generally unknown how differences impact bilingual literacy. A comparison Spanish–English English children (ages 6–13, N = 70) from the US revealed bilinguals had stronger associations phonological representations than monolinguals during reading. While vocabulary was...
In this study, we used 2016 Canadian Census data to examine home bilingualism among children aged 0–9 years. Across Canada, 18 percent of at least two languages home, which rose more than 25 in large cities and the territories. English French was most common language pair Quebec Ontario, various other pairs were spoken provinces. territories, 17 spoke an Indigenous English, discuss specific opportunities challenges for revitalization. The presence bilingual adults immigration generation...

Bilingual children regularly hear sentences that contain words from both languages, also known as code-switching. Investigating how bilinguals process code-switching is a crucial component in understanding bilingual language acquisition, because young experience processing costs and reduced comprehension when encountering code-switched nouns. Studies have yet to investigate if are present encounter code-switches at other parts of speech within sentence. The current study examined 30 (age...

Abstract Bilingualism is hard to define, measure, and study. Sparked by the “replication crisis” in social sciences, a recent discussion on advantages of open science gaining momentum. Here, we join this debate argue that bilingualism research would greatly benefit from embracing science. We do so unique way, presenting six fictional stories illustrate how practices – sharing preprints, materials, code, data; pre-registering studies; joining large-scale collaborations can strengthen further...
Phoneme perception varies across languages, as listeners of different languages use the same phonetic cues differently to determine which phoneme they are hearing. This raises question how bilinguals perceive phonemes in each their languages. Previous research has found that able a language-specific manner based on such voice onset time, but this work mostly tested listeners’ syllables and non-words. pre-registered study examined bilingual adults’ while hearing real, full words both...
Mixing two languages in speech (i.e., code-switching) is prevalent multilingual settings, including directed towards infants. Prior research suggests a link between parental code-switching and vocabulary size (Byers-Heinlein, 2013). Moreover, laboratory work that some types of appear more difficult for infants to process than others (Byers-Heinlein et al., 2017; Potter 2018). This raises the possibility effects depend on parents’ specific behavior terms frequency, location, purpose 2017)....
