Overgeneralization in a Group of Spanish-English Bilingual Children.

Medina-Nguyen, Suzanne

Canadian Modern Language Review, v37 n4 p694-705 May 1981

Analyzes the overgeneralizations of bilingual children to determine whether the overgeneralizations of Spanish and English monolinguals would differ from those found in the speech samples of Spanish-English bilinguals and to reach a better understanding of speakers' preference for certain affixes and roots.
