Laburpena

This paper examines the influence of the amount of language exposure in the communicative development of 1,378 Basque children between 8 and 30 months of age with different degrees of exposure to Basque. Communicative development was measured by adapting the MacArthur-Bates Communicative Development Inventories to Basque. A first approach of the data reveals that there are no differences among children aged between 8 and 15 months with varied degrees of exposure to the Basque language, in contrast to the data of children aged 16-30 months. Among the latter, monolinguals obtained higher scores than bilinguals in all the scales analysed. A more detailed study of the degree of exposure to Basque shows that variations found in vocabulary and grammar development do not differ between monolinguals and bilinguals with a high degree of exposure to Basque, but rather between those who have higher exposure to Basque (whether monolingual or not) and those who are less exposed to it (medium or low level), although this difference only appears at the age of 26-30 months.

Finantzaketari buruzko informazioa

La muestra está sesgada respecto al nivel de estudios de las madres, ya que la proporción de éstas con estudios universitarios está sobredimensionada, pues solo el 21,5% de los habitantes de la Comunidad Autónoma Vasca –no dispone-mos de datos globales para toda Euskal Herria– cursa estudios universitarios (EUSTAT, 2001). La muestra también está sesgada en cuanto al uso y conoci-miento del euskera, ya que en los datos globales para toda Euskal Herria, tan solo el 21,3% de los habitantes tiene como primera lengua el euskera y la lengua habitual de comunicación en la pareja es principalmente el euskera en el 11% de los casos en la Comunidad Autónoma Vasca (Gobierno Vasco, 2008). En cual-quier caso, siendo el CDI un inventario basado en información parental, el mismo hecho de utilizar una herramienta de evaluación en euskera selecciona el sector de la población que conoce, usa y trasmite esta lengua.
