Native Spanish Language Acquisition: The Effect of Age, Schooling and Context on Responses to "Dile" and "Preguntale"

Edelsky, Carole; Muina, Virginia

Journal of Child Language, 4, 3, 453-75, Oct 77

Ability to distinguish "ask" and "tell" in Spanish was studied with five groups of native Spanish speakers: adults, 7- and 10-year-olds in a full bilingual school and 7- and 10-year-olds in a non-total bilingual school. Increased age, bilingual schooling and presence of contextual clues enhanced performance. (CHK)
