07 Type of Bilingual

Now we going to look on the type of bilingual people








As we learn at the beginning that people can become a bilingual person at birth to 4+ years old. That is called Early bilingualism.



        Early bilingualism is defined as the acquisition of more than one language in the pre-adolescent phase of life. Children can learn 2 language at the same time, from birth or acquires a first language and then learn second language.



Another one is Late bilingualism which refers to bilingualism when the second language is learned after the age of 6 or 7; especially when it is learned in adolescence or adulthood




          Type of bilingualism also classifies according to the skills: Balanced bilinguals and dominant bilinguals. 

The difference between Balanced bilinguals and dominant bilinguals is based on the relationship between the fluency & proficiency of the respective languages which bilinguals master.



The third, we can classify according to the linguistic codes: compound bilinguals, coordinate bilinguals, and subordinate bilinguals



ADDITIVE & SUBTRACTIVE BILINGUALS


ADDITIVE BILINGUALS
 When learning a L2 does not interfere with the L1 learning, both languages develop, which is considered as an additive bilingualism.


SUBTRACTIVE BILINGUALS
 Subtractive bilingualism occurs when an individual learns r=the L2 to the determinant of L1. 
In this case, the competent and mastery of L1 diminishes, while the proficiency and mastery of L2 arguments.
