Fast Mapping, an Indicator of the Acquisition of German as a Foreign Language in Bilingual Families: A Case Study

Rapid mapping is considered by some researchers to be particularly important in language acquisition in young children, and can serve (at least in part) to explain the amazing speed with which children acquire vocabulary.The term mapping is used in various research fields with a variety of meanings. From the linguistic-pedagogical- methodological side, fast mapping can be understood as a phenomenon of linguistic processing that leads to the inclusion of a new word in the lexicon. A possible explanation for the quick acquisition of new words could be an efficient learning process that enables learning of a word after little contact, especially in bilingual families. The research shows us the case study of bilingual families in Germany in the state of Rhineland-Pfalz and their acquisition of the German languages. The research was from May 1st to May 30th, 2021. Those questioned were the parents (N = 48) of the children. Research showed us which of the eight different aspects and methods of fast mapping were found to be the most successful in language learning.
