The introduction of vocabulary checklists for infant acquisition has allowed us to gather detailed information about early lexical grou th from a broader number of bilingual children than before and to begin exploring the relation ofgrowth in one language to growth in the other in a range o f bilingual learning circumstances. Still, no standardized instruments to date give an adequate picture of normal bilingual development. Norms and milestones based on monolingual experience underestimate bilingual abilities in that they tap only a portion of the bilinguals’ knowledge and credit them with less complex conceptualizations than what they actually possess.
