Abstract
The present study examines how bilingualism, age of onset (AoO) of exposure to Greek and degree of literacy affect the performance of Greek/Albanian bilingual children on a Sentence Repetition (SR) task. Sixty 8 to 10-year-old children were tested, twenty per group, i.e. monolinguals, simultaneous bilinguals and late- sequential bilinguals. The analysis showed that (a) the monolingual group outperforms the bilingual groups, (b) there is strong relationship between vocabulary development and SR performance and (c) the amount of early and current oral input in Greek affects SR performance.
