language dominance  

Definition(s)

  • Language dominance is often understood to refer to either one's current preference for a language, or the skill or amount of practice one has in a language. No single definition of dominance in language research exists, so many researchers propose their own, depending on their experiences, research purpose, or the population they are working with.
