| Guidelines |
| Both bilingual children and children with Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) are reported as having difficulties with the repetition of nonwords. This thesis aims at investigating whether the patterns of difficulties in the two groups differ qualitatively and quantitatively. In order to do that, the candidate will assess a group of bilingual children in international schools in Prague and will compare their performance to that of children with DLD previously assessed in the UK. The task used is the CNRep, the most widely used nonword repetition task in the UK.
This thesis will be written in English. |
