Childhood Bilingualism and Metalinguistic Skills: Analysis and Control in Young Swedish-English Bilinguals.

In this study, metalinguistic ability is studied in terms of dual skill components: control of linguistic processing and analysis of linguistic knowledge. English-Swedish bilinguals (n=38), assigned to two groups according to relative proficiency, and 16 Swedish monolinguals, aged 6 to 7 years, received three tasks: symbol substitution,…
