This is a study of domain-specific lexical development in English-Chinese bilinguals. Taking Hand Action Verbs as the sampling vocabulary, we firstly measured the English and Chinese vocabulary sizes of 500 bilingual Singaporean children with our selfdesigned parental report. Based on the measurement results, we established developmental norms for children from different backgrounds and obtained preliminary evaluations of their bilingual vocabulary development. By analyzing the data collected from a series of behavioral and perceptual experiments, we carefully described and compared the acquisition trajectories of near-synonymous Throwing Verbs by monolingual and bilingual children, adolescents, and adults. With a full consideration of the uniqueness of Singaporean bilinguals, we discussed both linguistic (e.g., language input, language varieties, lexical semantics, etc.) and non-linguistic factors (e.g., family SES, cognitive development, physical capability, etc.) that showed influences on their vocabulary development and acquisition of verbs semantics. The overall findings show that to understand the lexical development of hand action verbs in bilinguals we need to focus not only on the acquisition and production of the verbs but also on how other influencing factors interact with each other to shape the developmental trajectory.
