Language Mixing in Infant Bilingualism

Examines the simultaneous acquisition of Norwegian and English by two first-born children each with one American and one Norwegian parent. Investigates the issue of language mixing in relation to language dominance and the child's differentiation between the two languages in relation to the communicative demands of the context. The paperback edition of Elizabeth Lanza's classic investigation of infant bilingualism includes a new section assessing recent research and contains an extensive updated bibliography.
