Visual Grounding in Video for Unsupervised Word Translation (2020, background): “This sharing can happen for different aspects of language such as grammar, morphology, or the conceptual representations [11, 19].”
Bilingual first-language development: Dominant language takeover, threatened minority language take-up* (2009, background): “…Gwynedd LL57 2AS, Wales, UK v.c.gathercole@bangor.ac.uk The answer to this question may depend, at least in part, on the context of bilingualism (De Houwer, 1995; Romaine, 1995; Vihman, 1998; Deuchar and Quay, 2000) and on the timing of acquisition (Johnson and Newport, 1989; Hyltenstam, 2006).”
Deaf children need language, not (just) speech (2019, unknown): “…amount of input, multilingual children routinely demonstrate successful acquisition with only half (or less) of their input in a given language (De Houwer, 1995); to the extent that any differences between monolinguals and bilinguals exist, they are subtle and only detected when children are…”
Terminology matters! Why difference is not incompleteness and how early child bilinguals are heritage speakers (2018, background): “The aforementioned projects traced 2L1 bilinguals in their two languages over several years, finding evidence for separate language development and qualitative similarities with monolingual children, especially in morphosyntax (see De Houwer, 1995, for an overview).”
Bilingual language acquisition and theories of diachronic change: Bilingualism as cause and effect of grammatical change* (2010, background): “Yet this does not seem to hold true for first language development, neither in monolingual (L1) nor in bilingual (2L1) settings; see de Houwer (1995) or Meisel (2004) for summaries of the relevant research on 2L1.”
Exposure and input in bilingual development (2017, background): “…that amounts of exposure to a given language can change dramatically in a bilingual child’s life when parents divorce, when a nanny or babysitter who speaks the minority language leaves the family circle, when the child enters day care or the regular school system, and so on (Silva-Corvalán, 2014).”
Bilingual Minds (2009, background): “de Houwer, A. (1995). Bilingual language acquisition.”
