Lezing Leonie Cornips: How to raise your children bilingually and bidialectically?
- Date
- 23 February 2016
- Time:
- 17.30-19.30 uur
- Place:
- Brightlands Campus, Gebouw 24, Sittard
Many parents (expatriate, immigrant, newcomers and/or dialect speaking parents) have questions about the bilingual or bidialectal upbringing of their children. Questions often raised are:
- Don’t get children confused when they hear two languages spoken around them?
- Do children mix up their two languages?
- Is it better to raise a child first in one language and then later in a second one?
- Is dialect a degraded language and isn’t it better for the child to only acquire Dutch?
In this presentation, I'll address briefly why bilingual children and adults were considered a problem in earlier times and why this view has changed recently due to linguistic and cognitive research. This type of research enables us to address the questions posed above.
