Project Description

This is a three-year longitudinal study conducted in the French area of the Basque Country. Subjects included bilingual children acquiring Basque and French, either simultaneously or consecutively (first language Basque or French) and monolinguals in both languages. The children had a mean age of 5 years at the first data collection point (from 4;6 to 6;0). Data were collected in the two languages on an elicitation task based on the booklet "Frog where are you?" Subjects included:

2009: 5 bilinguals and 2 Basque monolinguals
2010: 6 bilinguals and 3 Basque monolinguals
2011: 7 bilinguals and 3 Basque monolinguals
