Sažetak
This paper explores language assessment issues in researching bilingual/bi-dialectal speakers of Croatian and Italian at preschool age. The data consists of 52 transcripts of bilingual narrative discourse produced by 26 participants. A qualitative analysis of non-standard forms was adopted to categorize them into language errors or non-standard forms. The results show how different interpretations of non-standard language features can influence research results and give an unfavorable image of children’s language competence. A different perspective could be applied: non- standard forms as indices of linguistic creativity that allows narrative fluidity.
