研究经常报告说，双语参与者在测试语言中的词汇量比单语参与者要少，尤其是在针对儿童的研究中。然而，每项研究都是基于一个小样本，因此很难确定词汇差异是否是由于抽样误差造成的。我们报告了对1738名3至10岁儿童的分析结果，并证明两组儿童在接受性词汇方面存在一致的差异。两项初步分析表明，这种差异并不因语言对的不同而改变，而且主要局限于与家庭环境有关的词汇，而不是与学校环境有关的词汇。
Studies often report that bilingual participants possess a smaller vocabulary in the language of testing than monolinguals, especially in research with children. However, each study is based on a small sample so it is difficult to determine whether the vocabulary difference is due to sampling error. We report the results of an analysis of 1,738 children between 3 and 10 years old and demonstrate a consistent difference in receptive vocabulary between the two groups. Two preliminary analyses suggest that this difference does not change with different language pairs and is largely confined to words relevant to a home context rather than a school context.
