What does a language sample analysis measure, and how is it conducted? (Michelle)
It measures how long sentences are (syntax), what types of words are being used (semantics), etc. It's conducted by collecting what a child says during natural interactions.

What is the difference between the unitary language system hypothesis and the dual language system hypothesis? (Nathan M)
"The systems both relate to a second language. The unitary theory says only one language can be learned at a time where the dual says that both can be learned at once. Both can be true."
-
unitary language system hypothesis: The idea that bilin-gual children have a single language system that eventually splits into two. According to this theory, children are not bilingual until they successfully differentiate between the two languages.
dual language system hypothesis The idea that bilin-gual children have two separate language systems from the start. According to this theory, bilingual children do not move through stages whereby they eventually differentiate between the two languages.
