Abstract
In the present research, monolingual English-speaking children’s syntactic awareness on a grammatical judgment task will be compared to the performance of bilingual Urdu-English and bilingual Spanish-English children. Due to the differences between English, Spanish, and Urdu, bilingual children learning these languages must keep these differences separate in order to use each language effectively. It is predicted that this will lead to earlier and improved syntactic ability in bilingual children.
