For input to have any impact, children need efficient uptake, i.e., the ability to efficiently process incoming linguistic information and map it into linguistic knowledge. In monolingual neurotypical children, efficient uptake reflects a child’s ability to predict upcoming words/phrases and to update their linguistic knowledge based on incorrect predictions (error-based learning). Yet, how language learning unfolds when input and/or uptake are affected, and whether uptake is driven by error-based prediction, are fundamental questions that remain untested in child language research that goes beyond monolingual neurotypical children. This PhD studentship is part of a four-year (2025-2029) Leverhulme Trust-funded project entitled “Input and uptake in bilingualism and language disorders”, which adopts a crosslinguistic perspective into the interaction between input and uptake in monolingual and bilingual children using structural priming. It investigates English and Mandarin monolingual and bilingual children with and without Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) in the UK and in China.
