مقالة وصول حر Language Processing in Bilingual Children(دار جامعة الملك سعود للنشر, 01/01/1997) ElIenBialystokAbstract. Feeling schizophrenic about how to unite second language (L2) acquisition and
bilingualism on the one hand and psycholinguistic description of first language (Ll)
proficiency on the other. Ellen Bialystok compiled this volume. This book is, in large, a
collection of a number of seminal papers presented in the symposium "Language
acquisition and implications for processing in bilingual children" hosted by the Society
for Research in Children Development. Distinguished scholars from highly reputed
universities such as Harvard, Oxford, Stanford, Yale, University ofCalifomia. Berkeley,
and York (Ontario) were invited to examine language acquisition as a process and relate
it to language as used by bilingual children. A new tradition in the area of psychology
and education emerged out of that meeting. The study of the cognitive ability and
linguistic achievement of bilingual children no more possesses educational complexity,
and L2 acquisition is not merely a substitution of Ll forms and structures. On the basis
of the Chomskyan notion of government and binding (GB) and linguistic innateness,
first, second, and third language are acquired by means of setting parameters in the
language acquisition device (LAD). This and other GB findings are documented by
means of ten empirical studies undertaken in this book.
