Abstract
The paper presents two theoretical models of multilingual/bilingual development
– Dynamic Model of Multilingualism (DMM) and Thresholds Theory
(TT). The data from a case study of a successive Croatian (L1) – English (L2)
bilingual development are presented in the light of DMM and TT. The author
concludes that the mentioned models have a significant explanatory power
but are not yet refined enough to present a multitude of aspects and interacting
components in the development of successive childhood bilingualism.U radu se prikazuju dva teorijska modela višejezičnoga/dvojezičnoga
razvoja – Dinamični Model Višjezičnosti (DMV) i Teorija Praga (TP). U svjetlu
spomenutih modela, autorica intepretira podatke dobivene praćenjem jednoga
slučaja naknadnoga hrvatsko (J1)- engleskog (J2) dvojezičnog razvoja. Autorica
zaključuje da spomenuti modeli imaju znatnu objasnidbenu snagu, ali još nisu
dovoljno razrađeni da bi mogli predočiti/objasniti svo bogatstvo različitih vidova
naknadnoga dvojezičnoga razvoja te međudjelovanje različitih sastavnica tijekom
istoga
