这项纵向研究使用句子翻译任务来考察学龄儿童在学习越南语和英语时在语言处理方面的发展。每年有32名儿童参加，时间超过三个时间点。孩子们被要求找出操纵了与越南语(有生命力)和英语(词序)相关的语言线索的句子的代理。分层线性模型被用来检验线索使用随时间的变化，以及线索使用与每种语言熟练程度之间的关系。研究结果包括：在实验结束时完全依赖于词序，不同语言的群体水平线索使用模式几乎相同，并且语言熟练程度和线索使用之间存在正向关系。研究结果在统一竞争模型(MacWhinney，2004)和有关顺序双语的文献中进行了讨论。
This longitudinal study used sentence interpretation tasks to consider growth in language processing among school-aged children learning Vietnamese and English. Thirty-two children participated yearly over three time points. Children were asked to identify the agent of sentences that manipulated linguistic cues relevant to Vietnamese (animacy) and English (word order). Hierarchical linear modeling was used to examine change in cue use over time as well as the relation between cue use and proficiency in each language. Findings include exclusive reliance on word order by the end point, nearly identical group-level cue-use patterns across languages with individual variation, and positive relationships between language proficiency and cue use. Findings are discussed within the unified competition model (MacWhinney, 2004) and the literature on sequential bilingualism.
