Abstract

The initial development of two or more languages in young children. Four talks examine (1) effects of reduced exposure or competition in dual-language input on children’s word learning, (2) the importance of inhibitory control for the societal language development of young dual language learners, (3) interplay between parents’ beliefs about the malleability of language abilities and language-related beliefs and practices, and (4) the roles of maturation and experience on plausible word learning of young bilinguals.
