Delimiter between question and answer:

Tips:

  • No column headers.
  • Each line maps to a question.
  • If the delimiter is used in a question, the question should be surrounded by double quotes: "My, question","My, answer"
  • The first answer in the multiple choice question must be the correct answer.

How are BFL learners resourceful?
They code-mix to fill lexical gaps, they transfer morphosyntactic structures, and they are able to manage two languages to communicate effectively.
Bilingual children are not able to exhibit appropriate language choices with strangers, they can only communicate effectively with familiar interlocutors who share their code-mixing patterns.
False!
The age of onset of canonical babbling is different for bilingual and monolingual children.
False. The age of onset of canonical babbling happens around 27 weeks for bilinguals and monolinguals (Oller et al. 1997).
Bilingual children show a delay in the ability to use phonetic contrasts in word learning.
True
What is the difference between BFL and monolingual learners' phonemic discrimination?
Monolinguals’ discrimination ability becomes language-specific after 6 months, and bilinguals exhibit phonemic discrimination somewhat later (vowels by 12 mo)
Can both BFL and monolingual learners distinguish between two languages early in development?
Yes!
Mention one aspect of lexical development that is similar for both BFL and monolingual learners.
Both produce their first words at about the same age, they have simmilar rates of vocabulary acquisition, and the distribution of lexical categories is similar.
Crosslinguistic transfers can happen with overlapping and non-overlapping morphosyntactic structures.
True
Bilingual children do not exhibit the same rate of morphosyntactic development as monolingual children.
False, BFL learners exhibit the same rate of morphosyntactic development.
Children might be more likely to incorporate structures from their dominant into their weaker language than vice versa
True
Name the 3 contextual variables mentioned in the reading that affect bilingual children's code-mixing.
Interlocutor, topic, and purpose of interaction
Describe one of the reasons why bilingual children code-mix.
Describe one of the reasons why bilingual children code-mix.
Describe one of the reasons why bilingual children code-mix.
True or False? Code mixing is due to lack of differentiation of the two languages.
False
