Because such groups also differed in developmental level and sociodemographic characteristics, it has been difficult to draw strong conclusions about whether noun bias varies in different languages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This new study compared noun bias in bilingual toddlers who were acquiring two languages: Mandarin and English. The percentage of nouns in Mandarin (38%) was significantly lower than the percentage of nouns in English (54%), suggesting that the preference for nouns is not equal across languages. Instead, the frequency of nouns used by parents in a particular language significantly influences young children\u2019s word choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Article:<\/strong>\u00a0\u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/journals.cambridge.org\/abstract_S0305000912000529\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">Language specific noun bias: evidence from bilingual children<\/a>\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. Christine Dollaghan, a professor in the Callier Center and the School of Behavioral and Brain Sciences, is co-author of an article on noun bias in bilingual children in the&nbsp;Journal of Child Language.&nbsp;&nbsp; Most previous research about cross-language variation in noun bias &#8211; or the tendency to favor nouns in early language development &#8211; came&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2471,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"schema":"","fname":"","lname":"","position":"","credentials":"","placeID":"","no_match":false,"name":"","company":"","review":"","address":"","city":"","state":"","zip":"","lat":"","lng":"","phone1":"","phone2":"","fax":"","mon1":"","mon2":"","tue1":"","tue2":"","wed1":"","wed2":"","thu1":"","thu2":"","fri1":"","fri2":"","sat1":"","sat2":"","sun1":"","sun2":"","hours-note":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.6 -
