Abstract:
As part of a doctoral investigation, the receptive lexical proficiency of 392 Dual Language (DL) primary school children in Gibraltar was studied. Using the resultant data, the subjects' lexical proficiency was measured in their first language (L1) Gibraltarian Spanish (Yanito) and in their second language (L2) English. Their bilinguality was also calculated. This paper focuses on the results of several analyses conducted to calculate the subjects' bilinguality. The results of these analyses are reported and some of their practical implications briefly discussed.
