   Sammanfattning : This thesis investigates the influence of age of acquisition on the long-term second language development of international adoptees. Because age of acquisition typically coincides with the onset of bilingualism, the study of maturational age effects in second language acquisition has been empirically and conceptually entangled with changes in language input and use.

3. 2. Language problems at 2½ years of age and their relationship with school-age language impairment and neuropsychiatric disorders

   Författare :Carmela Miniscalco; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :language screening; language development; language delay; longitudinal; neuropsychiatric disorders; narrative skill;

   Sammanfattning : Background: International research has shown that language delay (LD) is associated with social, cognitive, emotional and/or behavioural deficiencies, but there is still a need for extended knowledge about LD at early age and its relationship with long-term language impairment and neuropsychiatric disorders in Swedish children. Aims: To study (a) if children with a positive screening result or a negative screening result at 2½ years of age showed persistent or transient language difficulties at 6 years of age and, (b) whether or not children identified by language screening at 2½ years of age were diagnosed with language, neurodevelopmental and/or neuropsychiatric impairments at school age.

The thesis suggests that the bilingual children and the Swedish adult learners develop the Italian DP differently. LÄS MER
