Pearson, Barbara Zurer; And Others

Language Learning, v43 n1 p93-120 Mar 1993

Administered the MacArthur Communicative Development Inventory to 25 bilingual (English/Spanish) and 35 monolingual children who were furnishing data for longitudinal study. Assessment of the degree of overlap between bilingual children's lexical development in their two languages showed that they developed early vocabulary at the same rate as monolingual children.
