As part of her undergraduate thesis project, Communicative Sciences and Disorders alum, Annika Canta along with Dr. Tara McAllister and colleagues published a paper highlighting an underrepresented language context, Jamaican Creole. The paper, titled “Variability, accuracy, and cross-linguistic transfer in bilingual children speaking Jamaican Creole and English,” shares research findings from Dr. McAllister’s subaward from the University of Cincinnati that can help us better understand the speech development of bilingual children.
