Evaluating Attributions of Delay and Confusion in Young Bilinguals: Special Insights from Infants Acquiring a Signed and a Spoken Language.
Petitto, Laura Ann; Holowka, Siobhan
Sign Language Studies, v3 n1 p3-33 Fall 2002
Examines whether early simultaneous bilingual language exposure causes children to be language delayed or confused. Cites research suggesting normal and parallel linguistic development occurs in each language in young children and young children's dual language developments are similar to monolingual language acquisition. Research on simultaneous acquisition of French oral and sign language is examined in detail. (Author/VWL)
