Franco-Ontarian Speech Data: The Effects of a Minority Context and Bilingualism.
Speech-language evaluation of Franco-Ontarian children is a complex task for speech-language pathologists due to the lack of tools and regional standards. This study first replicated, with 26 Franco- Ontarian monolingual children, a study from Quebec (Thordardottir, Keheyia, Lessard, Sutton et Trude...

This study first replicated, with 26 Franco- Ontarian monolingual children, a study from Quebec (Thordardottir, Keheyia, Lessard, Sutton et Trudeau. 2010). Children in the study were matched for age (n = 26, average age = 60.38 months, standard deviation = 5.99), socio-economic status, and non-verbal cognition; they differed from French Quebecers in the quantity of input and in the linguistic status of the languages (minority/ majority language). Our study then assessed the performance of bilingual children (French-English), i.e., Franco-dominant (n = 48, average age = 59.60 months, standard deviation = 5.73) of the same age on the same battery of tests. These two linguistic groups were created according to the level of exposure to the two languages. The results of the descriptive analysis showed that, on the linguistic level, French Quebecers outperformed monolingual Franco-Ontarians, and that Franco-dominant bilingual children obtained lower scores than the monolingual children on many levels, such that the use of Quebec-based standards for Franco-Ontarians is questioned. However, a post hoc comparison produced no significant differences between monolingual French Quebecers and Franco-Ontarians. On the other hand, monolingual Ontarians and Quebecers performed better on expressive and receptive language tests than Franco-dominant bilingual children. Since very few studies in the literature focus on the assessment of linguistic competencies of Franco-Ontarian children, this research provides new insights by defining preliminary data for these age groups. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research Journal Article ougenre: Article language: French refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
