本研究探讨了2岁（n = 10）和3岁（n = 16）的法语-英语双语儿童的故障发生在沟通时，他们没有使用相同的语言作为他们的对话者（语言故障）和其他原因（例如听不见的话语）的修复。孩子们和一个只使用一种语言（英语或法语）的实验者一起玩。每次孩子使用另一种语言时，实验者都会提出五次澄清要求，从非特定的（什么？）（你能用法语/英语说吗？）盖子实验者还要求澄清故障时发生的其他原因，例如，孩子说话太轻，产生了一个模棱两可的话语，两个和三奥尔兹都能够修复语言故障切换语言，以配合他们的实验者，他们避免这种修复策略时，试图修复其他故障。此外，他们还根据非具体要求转换语言。结果表明，即使是两岁半的双语儿童能够识别他们的语言选择的沟通故障的原因，他们可以区分语言从其他类型的沟通故障。
This study examined two- (n = 10) and three-year-old (n = 16) French-English bilingual children's repairs of breakdowns in Communication that occurred when they did not use the same language as their interlocutor (Language breakdowns) and for other reasons (e.g. inaudible utterance). The children played with an experimenter who used only one language (English or French) during the plan, session. Each time a child used the other language, the experimenter made up to five requests for clarification, from nonspecific (What?) to specific (Can you say that in French/English?). The lid experimenter also made requests for clarification when breakdowns occurred for other reasons, e.g. the child spoke too softly, produced an ambiguous utterance, etc. Both the two- and three-year-olds were capable of repairing Language breakdowns by switching languages to match that of their experimenter and they avoided this repair strategy when attempting to repair Other breakdowns. Moreover, they switched languages in response to non-specific requests. The results indicate that even two-and-a-half-year-old bilingual children are capable of identifying their language choice as a cause of communication breakdowns and that they can differentiate Language from Other kinds of communication breakdowns.
