| As highly fluent bilinguals, the owners and employees can easily choose the language they will use with children on such visits. |
|
| Another of her interests is bilingualism and code-switching among bilinguals. |
|
| Such a finding is consistent with this model's argument that different languages engage different conceptual representations in bilinguals. |
|
| Developmentally speaking, bilinguals are unique listener-speakers and not simply byproducts of two or more monolinguals. |
|
| For example, some bilinguals may prefer one of their languages to the other, which may influence its subsequent use or lack of use. |
|
| Current practices for assessment of language in bilinguals frequently involve the use of tests that are designed for and normed on monolinguals. |
|
| A number of studies have been carried out to determine how the academic achievement of bilinguals compares with that of monolinguals. |
|
| Research comparing bilinguals to monolinguals necessarily uses between-subjects designs. |
|
| For instance, could language of presentation help bilinguals keep remembered events cognitively distinct? |
|
| Gerard and I are both aware that the younger you start with children, the more likely they are going to be instinctive bilinguals. |
|
| These verbal exchanges suggest that the language of the event helped these bilinguals keep each event separate in memory. |
|
| The overwhelming majority of bilinguals can think in either of their two languages. |
|
| Such a mindset sees everything in terms of monolingualism as the norm, even though there are more bilinguals and multilinguals in the world than monolinguals. |
|
| And of those bicultural bilinguals, we should be little surprised that they feel different in their two languages. |
|
| Blocking out distracting information is exactly what researchers find that bilinguals do well. |
|
| Receptive bilinguals are those who understand their second language, but have little or no ability to speak it. |
|
| English and French to be an asset or gave preference to English-French bilinguals. |
|
| The DMMD implied in his text that there was a pool of bilinguals all at the same level. |
|
| This is an area in which more research is needed to learn more about the Spanish-language background of bilinguals without schooling in their first language. |
|
| Contrastive features that would yield information about potential crosslinguistic influences in the Spanish spelling of Spanish-English bilinguals were not included. |
|
|
|
| The issue of storage, with respect to bilinguals who have two languages to cognitively contend with, has been a strongly debated topic among researchers. |
|
| The school, therefore, mostly served the children who were bilinguals with English as the official language and Spanish as the vernacular home language. |
|
| One might argue, for example, that the two alphabets are sufficiently distinct that our bilinguals could discover the language without identifying the letters. |
|
| Furthermore, bilinguals may develop a more analytic orientation toward language than do monolinguals as a means of overcoming interference between languages. |
|
| By August 1973, there would have to be progress.72 The discussions held that day brought into focus for the navy the extent of the overall problem caused by the deficit of Francophones, and thus of bilinguals. |
|
| Children acquiring two languages in this way are called simultaneous bilinguals. |
|
| In August, an English-speaking officer with the DGBB proposed that confirmed bilinguals be given a point added to the total in the performance appraisal. |
|
| Monolinguals also access words more often than bilinguals in a target language. |
|
| Also, in the same study, monolinguals perform better than bilinguals on verbal fluency. |
|
| Even in the case of simultaneous bilinguals, one language usually dominates the other. |
|
| Research has also been carried out into the neurology of bimodal bilinguals, or people who can speak one oral language and one sign language. |
|
| In another recent study in Canada, it has been shown that monolinguals were worse at the onset of senility than bilinguals. |
|
| However, evidence from a research study shows that bilinguals have a faster reaction time in most working memory tasks. |
|
| Kirkpatrick asserts that monolinguals are at a disadvantage to bilinguals in the international job market. |
|
| It was that lack of an effect for monolinguals that provided the strongest evidence for two sound systems in bilinguals. |
|
| Since bilinguals were also Francophones, intermediate priorities must be set which take into account the fact that FLUB would contain 80 percent Francophones, bilingual or otherwise. |
|
| The Directorate of Recruiting had the advantage of being at NDHQ and having a very urgent national mandate to recruit as many Francophones and bilinguals as possible, and quickly. |
|
| Meanwhile, globalisation is boosting the number of bilinguals. |
|
| Our schools have the opportunity to ensure that potential bilinguals grow into bilingual, biliterate adults who are able to contribute to and participate in a stronger American economic base. |
|
| On the other hand, when the subjects were exposed to ten, rather than four, runs of squares, the performance of monoglots caught up with that of bilinguals in the last few sets. |
|
|
|
| So all of us in this room who are high-level bilinguals at least are a little more intelligent, more creative and so on than corresponding monolinguals. |
|
| In addition to improved communication skills, bilinguals develop cultural sensitivities. It opens their minds to respecting differences between people and cultures. |
|
| Finally, the effects appear to be lifelong: bilinguals have later onset of Alzheimer's disease, on average, than do monolinguals. All this is hot evidence for a mental exercise that could give children a lifelong advantage. |
|
| It is important to note here that bilinguals overall vocabulary size in both languages combined are equivalent to that of the monolinguals in one language. |
|
| A study published a year later found that switching into the second language seems to exempt bilinguals from the social norms and constraints such as political correctness. |
|
| The same study also found that bilinguals, in a version of the letter fluency task that placed more demand on executive control, performed better than monolinguals. |
|
| Thus, once vocabulary abilities were controlled, bilinguals performed better on letter fluency possibilities by the enhanced frontal executive processes in the brain. |
|
| The observances over the linguistic behavior of bilinguals and polyglots, suffering with brain focal lesion, provide an important material for neurolinguistics. |
|
| Thus once vocabulary abilities are controlled, bilinguals perform better on letter fluency possibly due to enhanced frontal executive processes in the brain. |
|
| This finding enhances the fact that bilinguals are at an advantage because of their ability to speak two languages, not because of outside factors. |
