Exposure duration is the main determinant of bilinguals’ vocabulary knowledge

HIGHLIGHTS

  • What: This study examines whether age of second language acquisition duration of exposure to that language and chronological age determine vocabulary knowledge in 214 Russian-Hebrew bilinguals (ages 19-80 immigration ages 1-46 and exposure duration 7-63 years). The authors investigate a unique cohort of individuals who immigrated to Israel from one of the former USSR countries. The authors examine the extent to which sequential bilinguals develop advanced vocabulary knowledge in their second language. The authors assess whether exposure duration contributes to vocabulary knowledge beyond the contribution of age of immigration.
