Description

How is language acquired when infants are exposed to multiple language input from birth and when adults are required to learn a second language after early childhood?

How do adult bilinguals comprehend and produce words and sentences when their two languages are potentially always active and in competition with one another?

What are the neural mechanisms that underlie proficient bilingualism?

What are the general consequences of bilingualism for cognition and for language and thought?

This handbook will be essential reading for cognitive psychologists, linguists, applied linguists, and educators who wish to better understand the cognitive basis of bilingualism and the logic of experimental and formal approaches to language science.
