International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism, 10(3), 248-276. https://doi.org/10.2167/beb443.0

Although most researchers recognise that the language repertoire of bilinguals can vary, few studies have tried to address variation in bilingual competence in any detail. This study aims to take a first step towards further understanding the way in...
