Abstract:

COST Action IS0804 “Language Impairment in a Multilingual Society: Linguistic
Patterns and the Road to Assessment” aimed to profile bilingual specific
language impairment (biSLI) by establishing a network for research on the
linguistic and cognitive abilities of bilingual children with SLI across
different migrant communities. A battery of tools for Language Impairment
Testing in Multilingual Settings (LITMUS) was designed within the Action to
achieve these aims, including the Parental Bilingual Questionnaire, the
Sentence Repetition Task, the Crosslinguistic Lexical Tasks, the Multilingual
Assessment Instrument for Narratives, and two nonword repetition tasks that
are not language-specific. The chapters in this volume present research on one
or more of the LITMUS tasks in bilingual children with typical language
development and on use of the LITMUS testing battery for identifying possible
language impairment. The work presented here will be of interest for
researchers and clinicians alike, and have profound impact in our
understanding of bilingual language development and impairment.
