Article Synopsis
- This research looks at how bilingual children switch between two languages while they talk, focusing on kids from San Diego and Montreal.
- The study found that kids switched languages more often when moving between sentences rather than within a sentence, and they used more important words (like nouns) instead of little words (like 'the' or 'is').
- The reasons why kids switched languages were different: for Spanish-English kids, it depended more on how much they heard Spanish, while for French-English kids, it depended more on how well they knew French.
