Abstract:

Although a great percentage of the present day population speaks more than 
one language, a smaller number are early bilinguals, in the sense that they 
are speakers who have grown up with two languages since childhood. The 
present thesis on early Dutch-German bilinguals addresses the question as to 
what it means to be such a speaker. It presents insights gained by language 
production experiments into conceptualization processes during language use 
by Dutch-German bilinguals, with a specific focus on cross-linguistic 
differences between the two languages. 

The findings show that in the domain of event construal, the bilinguals adhere 
to principles that differ subtly from those of 'monolingua'' speakers of both 
languages. To be more specific, the acquisition of two patterns of 'Thinking 
and Seeing for Speaking' (cf. Slobin, 1996; von Stutterheim & Nüse, 2003) 
results in bilingual-specific performance patterns in language production that 
reveal bilingual-specific language processing mechanisms. The findings are 
discussed in light of conceptualization preferences that indicate a reliance on 
core linguistic principles that overlap between Dutch and German, coupled 
with a reliance on basic, simplification strategies. The studies collected in 
this thesis make use of several psycholinguistic research methods which 
further support the results of the production studies, i.e. eye tracking 
measurements,acceptability judgements and an experiment involving 
processing constraints.
