Attitudes towards code-switching among adult mono- and multilingual language users (2014, background): “Likewise, CS in young children is often taken as an example of poor cognitive control or lack of sensitivity of the appropriate choice of language (De Houwer 2009).”
The Influence of Dominance and Sociolinguistic Context on Bilingual Preschoolers' Language Choice (2007, background): “Most bilingual preschool children display greater proficiency, or more advanced development, in one of their two languages, and this is commonly referred to as their dominant language (see Deuchar & Muntz, 2003; Genesee & Nicoladis, 2007; Genesee et al ., 2004, for review).”
Ideologies, struggles and contradictions: an account of mothers raising their children bilingually in Luxembourgish and English in Great Britain (2012, background): “De Houwer (2009) suspects that the most frequent language presentation in mixed-language bilingual families is a setting where one parent uses both the minority and the majority language (1P/2L), and the other uses one of these (1P/1L).”
The development of phonetic representation in bilingual and monolingual infants (2007, background): “Although there is increasing work on language development and language processing in bilinguals (for recent reviews, see Genesee & Nicoladis, 2007; Sebastián-Gallés & Bosch, 2005) there is little work on the phonetic development of infants developing in a bilingual environment (although see Bosch…”
Assessing the role of current and cumulative exposure in simultaneous bilingual acquisition: The case of Dutch gender* (2012, methodology): “A detailed parental questionnaire (following De Houwer, 2009; Gathercole, p.c.; Gutiérrez-Clellen & Kreiter, 2003; Jia & Aaronson, 2003; Paradis, 2011) was used to estimate children’s current amount of exposure, as well as their amount of exposure over time.”
Finding le mot juste: Differences between bilingual and monolingual children's lexical access in comprehension and production* (2009, background): “The evidence for early bilingualism not posing a cognitive load is that bilingual children can use their two languages like monolinguals of the same age in terms of phonology and syntax (see review in Genesee and Nicoladis, 2007).”
Dual language exposure and early bilingual development* (2011, background): “The range of variability in how much speech young children hear is enormous (Hoff, 2006; Hart & Risley, 1995), and some children exposed to two languages may well hear as much speech in each language as some monolingual children hear in only one (De Houwer, 2009).”
