Patterns of language switching and bilingual children’s word learning: An experiment across two communities.

Abstract: Language switching is common in bilingual environments, including those of many bilingual children. Some bilingual children hear rapid switching that involves immediate translation of words (an "immediate-translation" pattern), while others hear their languages most often in long blocks of a single language (a "one-language-at-a-time" pattern).
