Paper Title
Language Dominance in a Simultaneous Bilingual Syrian Arabic-English Child

Abstract
The present study was designed to examine whether an Arabic English simultaneous bilingual child is considered to have a dominant language, or equally proficient in both. The analysis was based on audio recordings of the child at age 3;4 in separate Arabic and English-language contexts. Three indicators have been used: the mean length of utterance, the upper bound, and the lexical-mixing. The results have shown that the child is approximately balanced with slight English dominance.
