Sensitivity to morphophonological cues in monolingual and bilingual children: Evidence from a nonword task
2020
Abstract
The study aims to investigate the role of age of onset in the acquisition of inflectional morphophonology. More specifically, this study examines the sensitivity to morphophonological cues in a group of Czech-English primary school bilingual children (mean age 10;09) with varying ages of onset of exposure to English.
The study focuses on morphophonological perception, a domain that has received less attention than production. Sensitivity to bound morphemes is examined using a nonword task, in order to isolate morphophonological effects from semantic and lexical effects.
