_____________ specifies the relationships between the types of words in a sentence.
 
  a. Syntax c. Grammar
   b. Discourse d. Lexicon

Question 2

Assume you are a member of the school board. At an open meeting, several parents comment that developmental research indicates that languages are learned more easily when people are younger instead of older.
 
  Therefore, they complain that languages are taught too late in school (high school) and need to be taught earlier in elementary school. You decide to balance the argument by commenting on the negative consequences of learning a second language. What consequences will you describe to these concerned parents?
  What will be an ideal response?

Answer to Question 1

Answer: a

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Vocabularies tend to be smaller for bilingual children than for monolingual children. Similarly, bilingualism slows syntactic development in both languages. Bilinguals also tend to make more speech production errors such as TOT states. A benefit of bilingualism that the parents did not mention, that would not support the opposing view, is that bilingualism helps produce more efficient executive processing.
