Abstract:

This Element provides an overview of research considering variables deemed to
impact bilingual language acquisition, and highlights research outcomes from a
variety of disciplines. An exploratory study takes into account these
variables and examines the language acquisition of adult Spanish-English
bilinguals across a range of domains in their two languages. The results
demonstrate that the highly interactive nature of bilingual speakers'
languages is in line with a holistic view of the dynamic, interdependent
nature of bilingualism as described by usage-based theories and dynamic
systems theories, and by the conceptualization of bilingual language from a
Dynamic Interactive Processing Perspective.
   
   
1. What are the key concepts?; 2. What are the main branches of research?; 3.
What are the key readings?; 4. What are the new avenues for research?; 5. What
are the implications for SLA, bilingualism, and pedagogy?; 6. Conclusion:
moving away from a deficiency view of bilingual language skills.
