Bilingual CDI

[Annick De Houwer]

Hello Francesca and everyone--

I've been using Dutch and European French adaptations for a group study of 
BFLA infants and toddlers. In my view, for full assessment of children's 
capabilities in each language, each language needs to be assessed 
separately. For sources on how that can be done, see:
De Houwer, A., M. H. Bornstein & S. De Coster, 2006. Early understanding of 
two words for the same thing: A CDI study of lexical comprehension in 
infant bilinguals. *International journal of bilingualism* 10(3): 331-348. 
De Houwer, A., 2010. Assessing lexical development in Bilingual First 
Language Acquisition: What can we learn from monolingual norms? In M. 
Cruz-Ferreira (ed.),* Multilingual Norms. *Frankfurt: Peter Lang, pp. 
279-322.* * 
De Houwer, A., Bornstein, M., & Putnick, D. (to appear). A 
bilingual-monolingual comparison of young children's vocabulary size: 
Evidence from comprehension and production. *Applied Psycholinguistics*.  

Francesca, since you are working with languages in which CDI's are 
available, if you are working with BFLA children, you can use the 2 
monolingual versions. It is of great importance to ask DIFFERENT people to 
fill them in, though (as described in the sources above).

Good luck,

Annick
