BILINGUALISM-ITS IMPLICATIONS IN STRUCTURING MORPHOLOGICAL AND LEXICAL ABILITIES IN ROMANIAN LANGUAGE

Summary/Abstract: This research is divided on two different sections: a theoretical and an experimental one. The theoretical background underlines the extension of the concept of bilingualism and its subtypes. A short description of the main psycho-pedagogical tool (PRGCRL) used during the research is also offered in this part of the study. The experiment is focused in establishing differences in acquiring grammatical and lexical abilities in the case of two categories of participants: bilingual and non-bilingual, with ages in the rage 8-11 years old. The results underline the fact that bilingual children proved inferior morphological and lexical abilities in comparison with the non-bilingual ones. The research also focused on the way in which bilingual children can improve their linguistic abilities at morphologic and lexical level through intervention programs focused on morphological competence subcomponents. This research section includes two case studies.
