Description
This study examined the relation between home language exposure from different
household members, specifically older siblings, and English and Spanish vocabulary
development in bilingual toddlers. The English and Spanish vocabularies of 38 toddlers
(19 boys and 19 girls; Mage = 2.14 years, SD = .14) were measured. Parental EI?-glish use
was found to be the strongest predictor of English and Spanish proficiencies. Among
households in which the parents use less than 10% English, having older siblings had no
effect on English language proficiency but was associated with lower levels of Spanish
proficiency.
