Abstract	The goal of this study was to examine the relationship between the amount of exposure to two languages and vocabulary acquisition in those languages among bilingual children in a French linguistic minority situation. The data used in this study was obtained from a longitudinal study conducted by Author (in progress). Sixty typically developing children aged five to six years old participated in the study. These participants were divided into two groups: French-dominant children (FD) and English-dominant children (ED). All the participants completed tests measuring receptive and expressive vocabulary, both in French and in English. The scores obtained were compared to the regional monolingual norms obtained from children with the same linguistic status (Auteur, 2014), or to the published monolingual norms. Test results showed that the FD children scored lower than the monolingual Franco-Ontarian norm on the receptive vocabulary measure in French. For the expressive vocabulary in French, the FD children also scored below the published monolingual norm. There was no significant difference between the ED children and the monolingual English norms on the receptive and expressive vocabulary measures in English. It appears that when the child’s dominant language is a minority language, the vocabulary acquisition becomes more difficult in that language. On the contrary, when the child’s dominant language is a majority language, it seems easier to acquire the vocabulary in that dominant language.
