Abstract

The main aim of the master's thesis is to gather as much information as possible on early second language acquisition, types of bilingualism and language changes that occur in early second language acquisition and bilingualism. The main objective was visiting a 21-month-old child, regularly for one hour per week, for a period of one year, with whom the author communicated exclusively in English. The purpose of this was to determine the possibilities of developing the earliest type of bilingualism possible in a child living in an all Slovenian family. The fundamental research question was whether a constant but relatively short (1x per week) form of social interaction could result in development of this form of bilingualism. The author collects material through fieldwork with audio and video material and writing a journal with basic findings and further suggestions for work in this field.

Secondary abstract:	Cilj magistrskega dela je zbrati čim več podatkov o zgodnjem učenju, oblikah dvojezičnosti in jezikovnih spremembah, ki se pojavljajo pri zgodnjem učenju ter dvojezičnosti. Predmet zaključnega dela je bil obiskovanje 21-mesečnega otroka, po eno uro na teden, v obdobju enega leta, s katerim je avtorica komunicirala izključno v angleščini. Namen tega je bilo ugotoviti, koliko in na kakšen način je mogoče izvesti določene oblike dvojezičnosti. Temeljno raziskovalno vprašanje je bilo raziskati zadostno konstantno, vendar razmeroma kratko obliko (1 krat na teden) socialne interakcije, da se razvije oblika dvojezičnosti pri zelo mladem otroku. Avtorica zbira gradivo na terenu z zvočnim in videogradivom ter pisanjem dnevnika s temeljnimi ugotovitvami ter predlogi za delo naprej.
