This study compares lexical development in a sample of 25 simultaneous bilingual and 35 monolingual children for whom semilongitudinal data were collected between the ages of 8 and 30 months.

Using the measures presented here, there was no statistical basis for concluding that the bilingual children were slower to develop …
