Abstract:

This book investigates the language of Polish–English bilingual children
raised in the United Kingdom and their Polish monolingual counterparts. It
exemplifies the lexico-grammatical knowledge of both groups and uses
corpus-based grammatical inference in order to establish the source of the
impediment of the minority language of the bilingual group. The author applies
the methodology of corpus linguistics and narrative analysis to study the
language of young bilinguals. He presupposes the caveat that a child-type
competence exists and can be contrasted with an adult-type competence. He uses
a variety of corpus frequency measures to compare the specific stylometric
features of bilingual child narratives and their monolingual counterparts. The
book focuses on how bilingual and monolingual language differs in areas such
as the lexicon, morphosyntax, and semantics.
