TLDR
This paper examined whether bilingual two-year-olds have differentiated phonological systems and if so, whether there are crosslinguistic influences between them, and found that bilingual children have separate but non-autonomous phonological system.Abstract:
The present study was designed to examine whether bilingual two-year-olds have differentiated phonological systems and if so, whether there are crosslinguistic influences between them. Eighteen English-speaking monolingual, 18 Frenchspeaking monolingual and 17 French-English bilingual children (mean age=30 months) participated in a nonsense-word repetition task. The children's syllable omissions/truncations of the four-syllable target words were analyzed for the presence of patterns specific to French and English and for similarities and dissimilarities between the monolinguals and bilinguals in each language. Results indicate that bilingual two-year-olds have separate but nonautonomous phonological systems. Explanations for the form and directionality of crosslinguistic effects are discussed.read more

Subject realization and crosslinguistic interference in the bilingual acquisition of Spanish and English: what is the role of the input?
Johanne Paradis,Samuel Navarro +1 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that the bilingual child showed patterns in her subject realizations in Spanish that could be interpreted as due to crosslinguistic effects from English; however, there is also evidence that these effects may have a source in the input, rather than resulting from internal crosslanguage contact.

TL;DR: A critical analysis of the extant literature showed that DLLs have two separate language systems early in life, and differences in some areas of language development, such as vocabulary, appear to exist among D LLs depending on when they were first exposed to their second language.

French-English bilingual children with SLI: how do they compare with their monolingual peers?
TL;DR: Bilingual-monolingual similarities point to the possibility that SLI may not be an impediment to learning two languages, at least in the domain of grammatical morphology.
