Emergent bilingualism of Turkish-French bilingual children in France
Résumé
Building on research into bilingualism since the early 1960s, both in psycholinguistics and sociolinguistics, we will first present the state-of-the-art findings on bilingualism with a specific focus on young children from families with migrant backgrounds. We will especially look at Cummins’ (1979) theories with regard to the potential of bilingual education to promote school success and create favorable conditions for the development of sustainable individual and societal bilingualism. Then we examine the specific situation of the Turkish community in France, characterize the emergent bilingualism of the very young and analyze the development of biliteracy in both languages of Turkish-French bilingual children and adolescents born to immigrant parents.
