style='color:black'>The aim of this article is to show how measures of lexical
richness (Guiraud 1954; Malvern, Richards, Chipere and Durán, 2004) can be used
to operationalise and measure language dominance among bilinguals. A typology
of bilinguals is proposed based on these measures of lexical richness, and the
validity of the typology is then investigated in an empirical study among two
groups of bilingual informants with different language dominance profiles (25
Dutch-French bilinguals from Brussels and 24 French-English bilinguals from
Paris). The most important advantage of the proposed operationalisation is that
it allows researchers carry out precise measurements of bilingual ability in
languages or language varieties for which no standardised tests exist and that
these measures can be calculated on oral data that have been collected in an
informal and unobtrusive way, in a naturalistic setting.</span><span

We've proposed using Mean Length Utterance
differentials as a measure of language dominance:<br>
<br>
Yip, Virginia and Stephen Matthews. 2007.The Bilingual Child: Early Development
and Language Contact. Cambridge University Press. (Ch.3: Methodology)<br>
Yip, Virginia and Stephen Matthews. 2006. Assessing language dominance in<br>
bilingual acquisition: a case for Mean Length Utterance differentials. Language
Assessment Quarterly 3: 97-116.<br>
<br>
While absolute MLU comparisons are of questionable validity due to
morphological differences between languages and how they are transcribed, MLU
differentials can be used effectively to compare different children acquiring
the same language pair, or different stages of development in the same child.
In some domains there is evidence that the prevalence of cross-linguistic
influence depends on the degree of dominance (see Yip and Matthews 2007: 150
for the case of null objects).<br>
