The acquisition of languages : the research

"It's better to learn French before you start learning another language", "bilingualism creates mental confusion", "if the child mixes their two languages, it is better to use only one" - ...those are just some of the things we can still say about bilingualism today. We who work in the field of cognitive science and psycholinguistics on the acquisition of language in children still note the tenacity of certain myths around the alleged harmfulness of bilingualism, while research shows that it is not the case"
