Raising a Bilingual Child by Barbara Zurer Pearson
Random House, 2008

Each assertion in the book has a source, but there was not room in the book for 23 pages of notes. So here they are. They follow the pages, and instead of a superscript in the text, I reproduce enough of the text that one can see what it refers to. Please let me know if there is anything missing, unclear, or in error. (Mailto: bpearson@research.umass.edu. Thank you. --bp
