AB This study analyses different contextual and linguistic variables that define the naturalinterpreting instances produced in spontaneous interactions by 19 young bilingualchildren (average age: 3;7) with different language pairs. In particular, we aim atcharacterizing the bilingual practice used by these children and (i) involve theconsecutive use of their two languages and (ii) are shaped by the communicativestrategies used by parents at home. The analysis is based on freely available corpora inCHILDES (MacWhinney 2000) (i.e. FerFuLice, Pérez-Bazán, Ticio, Vila, Deuchar;GNP) and diary annotations (i.e. Ronjat 1913; Leopold 1935-1945; Lanza 1988, 1997,2001) that comprise the spontaneous and longitudinal production of these children. Ourresults show that the language strategies followed by parents at home in combinationwith the linguistic communities where they live play a key role on this bilingualpractice.
