Resumo

This paper presents the data analysis of bilingual acquisition of Spanish and Galician by children aged 2;10- 4;1 years. This study forms part of the authors' research project on the development of a linguistic test for detection of communicative limitations in children. A communicative approach integrating all the linguistic data from a pragmatic viewpoint was employed: the use made of the two languages by the subjects observed was analysed with regard to speaker age, context, addressees, intentions, activities and materials used to stimulate communication, the initial language and topic of the utterance sequence, and whether communication was spontaneous or elicited by the researcher. The analysis of the data throws light on the strategies used by the bilingual child for choosing between one language and another, and of children's capacity to apply these strategies in particular situations.
