Exposure to native language questionnaire

[Annick De Houwer]

Dear Pascale,

May I also add that you can find such a questionnaire, and extensive
discussion of the role of the input in bilingual development, in my
book:

De Houwer, Annick, 2009. Bilingual First Language Acquisition.
Bristol: Multilingual Matters.

You may also be interested in the questionnaire I used for a survey of
language use in about 18,000 families, including immigrant families.
You can find this questionnaire in:

De Houwer, Annick, 2007. Parental language input patterns and
children's bilingual use. Applied Psycholinguistics, 28:3, 411-424.

Of course, as Dr. Baker hinted at, there is always a need to adapt
existing questionnaires to specific research questions and
circumstances.

Good luck with your study!

Best regards,

I am particularly interested to know whether the amount and/or the quality of the exposure to the native language in the home affects a) children's performance in their first language Portuguese and b) children's performance in their second language Luxembourgish.

I am not aware of any existing questionnaire but before designing something from scratch I thought I would ask the Group for some feed-back. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
