Dominance and Age in Bilingualism
Abstract
The present article examines the relationship between age and dominance in bilingual populations. Age in bilingualism is understood as the point in development at which second language (L2) acquisition begins and as the chronological age of users of two languages. Age of acquisition (AoA) is a factor in determining which of a bilingual's two languages is dominant and to what degree, and it, along with age of first language (L1) attrition, may be associated with shifts in dominance from the L1 to the L2. In turn, dominance and chronological age, independently and in interaction with lexical frequency, predict performance on naming tasks. The article also considers the relevance of critical-period accounts of the relationships of AoA and age of L1 attrition to L2 dominance, and of usage-based and cognitive-aging accounts of the roles of age and dominance in naming.

“A general consensus is that language dominance is a multidimensional construct, which comprises different features associated with the bilingual experience, such as age of acquisition, attitudes and domains of language use among others (Birdsong 2014).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
