What Explains the Correlation Between Growth in Vocabulary and Grammar? New Evidence From Latent Change Score Analyses of Simultaneous Bilingual Development
Abstract: A close relation between children’s vocabulary size and the grammatical complexity of their speech is well attested but not well understood. The present study used latent change score modeling to examine the dynamic relations between vocabulary and grammar growth within and across languages in longitudinal data from 90 simultaneous Spanish-English bilingual children who were assessed at 6-month intervals between 30 and 48 months. Slopes of vocabulary and grammar growth were strongly correlated within each language and showed moderate or nonsignificant relations across languages. There was no evidence that vocabulary level predicted subsequent grammar growth or that level of grammatical development predicted subsequent vocabulary growth. We propose that a common influence of properties of input on vocabulary and grammatical development is the source of their correlated but uncoupled growth. An unanticipated across-language finding was a negative relation between level of English skill and subsequent Spanish growth. We propose that the cultural context of Spanish-English bilingualism in the US is the reason strong English skills jeopardize Spanish language growth while Spanish skills do not affect English growth.
