Abstract:
Previous research has suggested an advantage in Spanish over English on nonword repetition tasks with Spanish-English bilingual children. Comparing nonwords of equal syllable lengths across languages may not sufficiently account for phonological differences across languages. We compared Spanish-language nonword sets of different lengths to select a set that would be equivalent with respect to difficulty in English. Differences between languages varied at individual levels of complexity. The finding that level of word length affects performance may have implications for understanding the factors in clinical test development for bilingual children. Further research may benefit from assessing additional language variables and additional language combinations to extend findings.
