Abstract

Through the task of picture description, the performance of 3–4 years old Cantonese - Putonghua bilingual Child B and mandarin Child A on information points were compared. The results showed that there was no significant difference in the number of language points between two languages, and there was no significant difference in the number of description language points between Child B’s first language and second language. Moreover, the second language learning strategy of child was not completely different from the first language. Child B’s communication strategies were influenced by his language level. When his language level was low, he was inclined to use native-based communication strategies, especially code-switching and reduction strategy. With the improvement of his language level, the frequency of code-switching decreased, and recall strategy was less used.
