【Abstract】 This study examined the effects of language experience on metalinguistic awareness and linguistic competence of three different groups of Chinese children( monolingual speakers of Mandarin,bilingual speakers of both dialect and Mandarin,trilingual speakers of both dual dialects and Mandarin). A total number of 199 children ranging from preschoolers to third graders participated in this study. They were tested in Chinese on a number of metalinguistic awareness and linguistic competence measures including phonological awareness,word awareness,syntactic awareness,word reading,reading fluency,and reading comprehension. Results showed that Mandarin monolinguals outperformed dialect( s)-speakers on all metalinguistic awareness tasks and partly onlinguistic competence tasks,contrary to the findings documented in previous studies. In addition,the results indicated that the essence of the development of metalinguistic awareness is a cognitive process of the linguistic categorization impacted by the learning of writing system and the variety of language use. The study is significant for the implementation of dialect policy and language teaching for the children in dialect communities.更多还原
