A short description of the main psycho-pedagogical tool (PRGCRL) used during the research is also offered in this part of the study. The experiment is focused in establishing differences in acquiring grammatical and lexical abilities in the case of two categories of participants: bilingual and non-bilingual, with ages in the rage 8-11 years old. The results underline the fact that bilingual children proved inferior morphological and lexical abilities in comparison with the non-bilingual ones.

This research section includes two case studies.
