Purpose: The present study investigated linguistic factors that influence lexical processing in dual-language learner (DLL) children. Method: A total of 134 children--66 dLl children and 68 monolingual classmates in Grades 2-6--completed a battery of standardized and experimental measures. In the cr...

Method: A total of 134 children--66 dLl children and 68 monolingual classmates in Grades 2-6--completed a battery of standardized and experimental measures. In the cross-linguistic task, children selected one of three words that matched a picture. Cross-linguistic trials included either cognate targets or false-friend foils. Results: Relative to baseline, DLL children's performance was affected by the presence of cognate targets but not of false-friend foils. However, false-friend inhibition was mitigated by Spanish proficiency. Conclusions: DLL children's knowledge of multiple languages makes word reading a qualitatively different process relative to that of monolinguals. The effect of cross-linguistic activation on DLL children's English performance is discussed. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: pictorial research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
