(2/2) This suggests #bilinguals can rely on the available L1 semantic connections in their mental #lexicon similarly to monolinguals.
We also explored factors predicting error patterns in L1:
•Lower naming accuracy → more #semantic errors
•Younger age & more L2 input → more omissions
#bilingualism

(1/2) Our new study led by M. Krysztofiak analysed mono- & bilingual children’s (aged 3–7) word retrieval errors to understand how they organise mental vocabularies.
Bilinguals made more naming errors & omissions in their L1 than monolinguals, but both groups showed the same rate of semantic errors.
