Project Description

A bilingual advantage in communication?
Bilingual children communicate more effectively than monolingual children: They make better use of non-verbal cues and are more aware of another speaker’s knowledge state. This project investigates why bilinguals have a communicative advantage, whether it is found in naturalistic communication, and whether it helps language learning.
