| They particularly shined in their average rate of memorization, which was 56.9 percent higher than monolinguals. |
|
| On the one hand, the country was encouraging the study of foreign languages for English monolinguals, at great cost and with great inefficiency. |
|
| Current practices for assessment of language in bilinguals frequently involve the use of tests that are designed for and normed on monolinguals. |
|
| Research comparing bilinguals to monolinguals necessarily uses between-subjects designs. |
|
| Developmentally speaking, bilinguals are unique listener-speakers and not simply byproducts of two or more monolinguals. |
|
| In all multilingual communities speakers switch among languages or varieties as monolinguals switch among styles. |
|
| They also entered high-skill occupations at twice the rate of English monolinguals. |
|
| By the mid-19c, few Irish monolinguals were left and bilingualism had become a way-station on the road to English alone. |
|
| All the teachers participating in this study were English monolinguals, and English was the medium of instruction. |
|
| A number of studies have been carried out to determine how the academic achievement of bilinguals compares with that of monolinguals. |
|
| Furthermore, the student translator is burdened with an extra workload which is rarely delegated to students who are English monolinguals. |
|
| The bilingual subjects performed more slowly than the monolinguals, and for addition and subtraction this difference increased with the number of operations. |
|
| In fact, it has been argued that a monolingual bias exists in bilingual research, using monolinguals as a yardstick to assess bilinguals' cognitive abilities. |
|
| Furthermore, bilinguals may develop a more analytic orientation toward language than do monolinguals as a means of overcoming interference between 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. |
|
| Kirkpatrick asserts that monolinguals are at a disadvantage to bilinguals in the international job market. |
|
| In another recent study in Canada, it has been shown that monolinguals were worse at the onset of senility than bilinguals. |
|
| This means that while monolinguals may excel in vocabulary size for the one language they speak, their vocabulary content is not greater. |
|
| There are many more female than male monolinguals, and females represent nearly two thirds of the total number. |
|
| It was that lack of an effect for monolinguals that provided the strongest evidence for two sound systems in bilinguals. |
|
|
|
| Also, in the same study, monolinguals perform better than bilinguals on verbal fluency. |
|
| People who know more than one language have been reported to be more adept at language learning compared to monolinguals. |
|
| The assumption of normative monolingualism is also often the view of monolinguals who speak a global language, like the English language. |
|
| When compared to monolinguals, multilingual children are slower in building up their vocabulary in every language. |
|
| In this study, it seems that being bilingual is associated with a delay of dementia by four years as compared to monolinguals. |
|
| 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. |
|
| 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. |
|
| In another recent study in Canada, it has been shown that monolinguals are at a disadvantage with the onset of senility as compared to bilingual people. |
|
| Monolinguals also access words more often than bilinguals in a target language. |
