The home language environment of monolingual and bilingual children and their language proficiency (2009, methodology): “The more input a child receives in a specific language, the better the child performs on vocabulary, reading, and writing tests in that language (De Houwer, 2007; Duursma et al., 2007; Oller & Eilers, 2002; Patterson & Pearson, 2004; Pearson, Fernandez, Lewedeg, & Oller, 1997).”
The relationship between bilingual exposure and vocabulary development (2011, background): “Evidence from several sources suggests that bilingual children’s rate of vocabulary learning is proportional to their amount of exposure to each language (de Houwer, 2007; Hammer et al., 2008; Patterson, 2002; Pearson, 2007; Pearson et al., 1997; Elin Thordardottir et al., 2006).”
Parental language mixing: Its measurement and the relation of mixed input to young bilingual children's vocabulary size* (2012, background): “There is evidence that patterns of language use by parents raising bilingual children can account for preschool and school-aged children’s active use of and proficiency in a minority language (De Houwer, 2007; Gathercole & Thomas, 2009).”
Ideologies, struggles and contradictions: an account of mothers raising their children bilingually in Luxembourgish and English in Great Britain (2012, background): “De Houwer (2007) and Yamamoto (2001) have found that children were least likely to develop active bilingualism if parents communicated in the majority language with the children.”
Exposure and input in bilingual development (2017, background): “De Houwer (2007, 2014) examined the relationship between parental language use and whether the bilingual child actually chose to use each of his languages.”
Home and community factors influencing bilingual children’s ethnic language vocabulary development (2012, background): “Languages have different levels of status in a given society; even young children seem to be aware of this (De Houwer, 2007).”
