TitleBibliography for Study of Language Development in a Multilingual Environment
Body
From http://linguistlist.org/issues/18/18-1028.html

A LINGUIST List user submitted a query about whether being raised in a multilingual environment can cause speech delays in children. Her summary of responses is as follows:

There are two schools of thought. The older one argues that the multilingual environment may cause speech delay in young children. The newer one refutes these claims and argues that raising children in multilingual environment does not cause any speech delays, but in fact, benefits the child's development. So, if there are young children with apparent speech delay, it is due to some other factors (but not to multilingual environment).

The extensive bibliography of relevant research is available at http://linguistlist.org/issues/18/18-1028.html .
