  I am writing my PhD in Speech-Language Pathology on bilingual children’s early language development, focussing on differences and similarities between the language abilities of monolingual and bilingual Finnish children who are growing up acquiring either Finnish, Swedish or both. Furthermore, I investigate how the amount of language exposure affects bilingual children’s proficiency in their two languages.
