我们研究了发展中的双语者在每种语言的句子解释任务中对生命性和语序线索的使用。参与者是6至8岁的儿童谁学习越南语作为第一语言和英语作为第二语言（n = 23）。参与者听简单的句子，并确定行动的代理人或“实干家”。仅英语同行（n = 23）作为对照组。结果表明，双语组更依赖于生命比英语只组在解释句子时，英语和双语组使用的混合或“融合”的线索来解释英语和越南语的句子。显着的组内变化的线索偏好进行了调查，作为一个功能的年龄和熟练程度的第一语言和第二语言。
We examined developing bilinguals’ use of animacy and word order cues during sentence interpretation tasks administered in each of their languages. Participants were 6- to 8-year-old children who learned Vietnamese as a first language and English as a second language (n = 23). Participants listened to simple sentences and identified the agent or “doer” of the action. English-only peers (n = 23) served as a comparison group. Results indicated that the bilingual group relied more on animacy than the English-only group when interpreting sentences in English and that the bilingual group used a blending or “amalgamation” of cues to interpret English and Vietnamese sentences. Significant within-group variation in cue preference was investigated as a function of age and proficiency in the first language and second language.
