Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, v8 n1-2 p83-94 1987
Comparison of free written compositions of 86 bilingual (Finnish-Swedish) and 86 monolingual (Swedish) third-, sixth-, and ninth-graders in a Finland Swedish comprehensive school revealed that bilinguals produced significantly more syntactic, vocabulary, and phraseology errors. Background variables correlating with errors included the student's school marks and environmental factors of mass media and neighborhood language. (Author/CB)
