This book was released on 2019-08-26 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a broad-based account of bilingual processing, drawing on research findings and current thinking from various domains across cognitive science. The theoretical approach adopted is the Modular Cognition Framework in which language processing is characterized as an interaction between dedicated linguistic systems and the other modules of the human mind. The latter provide the 'internal context' of bilingual processing. This internal context involves goals, value, emotion, self, and representations of the external context. The book combines all these elements into a coherent picture of the bilingual's internal context and the way it shapes processing. It then shows how some central concepts in cognitive science and bilingualism fit in with – and follow from – this view. These concepts include working memory, consciousness, attention, effort, codeswitching, and the possible cognitive benefits of being bilingual. The book should be of interest to professionals in the field as well as postgraduate students and advanced undergraduates.

This book was released on 2021-10-29 with total page 1656 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Given the boost in global immigration and migration, as well as the emphasis on creating inclusive classrooms, research is turning to the challenges that teachers face with the increasing need for bilingual and multilingual education. The benefits of bilingual education are widespread, allowing students to develop important cognitive skills such as critical thinking and problem solving as well as opening further career opportunities later in life. However, very few resources are available for the successful practice and implementation of this education into the curriculum, with an even greater lack of appropriate cultural representation in the classroom. Thus, it is essential for educators to remain knowledgeable on the emerging strategies and procedures available for making bilingual and multilingual education successful. The Research Anthology on Bilingual and Multilingual Education is a comprehensive reference source on bilingual and multilingual education that offers the latest insights on education strategy and considerations on the language learners themselves. This research anthology features a diverse collection of authors, offering valuable global perspectives on multilingual education. Covering topics such as gamification, learning processes, and teaching models, this anthology serves as an essential resource for professors, teachers, pre-service teachers, faculty of K-12 and higher education, government officials, policymakers, researchers, and academicians with an interest in key strategy and understanding of bilingual and multilingual education.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a detailed account of the issues, models, and outcomes of research into the cognition of bilingualism. The first chapter identifies the most important characteristics of this research and its historical developments, before the main part of the book explores studies of four bilingual processing topics. The first of these is lexico-semantic representation and organization in bilinguals, which deals with how words and meanings are represented and connected in the bilingual mind. The second, cross-language priming, explores the bilingual lexicon by examining how exposure to words in one language may affect word recognition in another and leads to the discovery of an asymmetry in translation priming. The third topic is selective lexical access in bilinguals, which examines whether bilinguals can selectively activate one language while suppressing the other, while the fourth is code switching, focussing on language control and language regulation mechanisms in bilinguals. The book concludes with a chapter that reviews research in three areas beyond lexical processing: autobiographical memory, the representation and interaction of syntactic knowledge, and the consequences of bilingualism. The volume demonstrates the theoretical significance and real-world practical implications of research into bilingual language processing, and will be a valuable resource for seminars and courses from advanced undergraduate level upwards.

This book was released on 2014-01-10 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For decades, bilingualism has resisted definition. If bilingualism is defined as habitual, fluent, correct and accent-free use of two languages, few individuals would qualify as bilinguals. A more viable approach may be to concede that ‘bilingual’ can be seen instead as a range of points on a continuum that allows for differences. The psychological study of bilingualism encompasses a wide range of phenomena including the organization and representation of the grammar, the perception and production of language mixing, cerebral lateralization of language functions, and patterns of recovery of aphasic patients. This book collects together an international array of researchers in experimental psychology, linguistics and neuropsychology, who bring their expertise to bear on the critical issues that are raised by the bilingual phenomena.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This thesis investigates the link between domain-general cognitive system and bilingual language processing system, specifically linking executive control to bilingual language production and reading across varied communicative contexts. A fundamental question in bilingual language processing is whether language processing system is solely responsible for linguistic operations involved in language production and reading or whether it recruits, on demand, domain-general cognitive resources. Some bilingual language processing accounts (e.g., "mental firewall" accounts) posit that language processing system is architecturally blocked from the domain-general cognitive system, especially during earliest stages of processing. Contrastingly, inhibitory accounts posit that language processing system actively recruits domain-general cognitive resources, especially when task demands increase and often during earliest stages of processing. Effectively, we investigated the link between domain-general, non-linguistic executive control among bilinguals and bilingual language production in spontaneously produced monologues and dialogues (Chapter2); in sentence (Chapter 3, Experiment 1) and single word production (Chapter 3, Experiment 2) across single- and dual-language contexts; and sentence reading (Chapter 4). In Chapter 2, we found that individual differences in executive control related to acoustic indices but not to content indices of bilingual language production. Specifically, greater executive control related to more efficient ongoing speech planning and production processes, especially in cognitively more demanding L2 dialogues. In Chapter 3, the findings were two-fold. First, bilinguals recruited executive control to a greater extent when producing grammatically well-formed sentences in Experiment 1 versus single words in Experiment 2 and also when speaking in single- versus dual-language contexts. Second, greater executive control related to greater global (e.g., inhibit non-target language) versus local (e.g., inhibit specific words) language control in sentence production in Experiment 1. In Chapter 4, we found that greater executive control related to reduced early-stage cross-language activation, as indexed by semantically conflicting interlingual homographs (e.g., chat a casual conversation in English; French for cat) versus semantically congruent cognates (e.g., piano across English and French). Additionally, greater executive control guided enhanced later-stage use of sentence constraint when reading sentences with language-unique control words. Thus, bilinguals recruit executive control when processing demands increase, such as conversing in L2, or producing and reading L2 sentences. Bilinguals also recruit executive control, on demand, across early and late stages of language processing." --

This book was released on 2019-09-20 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It has long been established that bilingual speakers are rarely balanced in their languages so that one language is dominant. The contributions to the Research Topic “Bilingual Language Development: The Role of Dominance” focus on the potential effects of language dominance on the competence and processing of bilinguals, covering a large variety of language combinations and domains. Important aspects of such work are the interplay of L1-maintenance/attrition and possible L2-dominance, the direction of cross-linguistic influence (CLI) or code-mixing, as well as the effects of bilingualism on cognitive development, each addressed in several contributions. However, such research presupposes a definition of dominance, which is far from being settled. This gives rise to considerable differences in the operationalization of the concept across studies. The studies in this Research Topic present a multifaceted picture of the role of language dominance for L1-maintenance/attrition, L2-development and CLI. Though a unified story cannot emerge for such a complex subject, interesting new venues are explored including the impact of dominance shift during L1-re-exposure, comparisons of different types of bilingual groups, or operationalization of dominance through experiential measures. The variety of approaches and results is in part owed to the many language combinations studied and the fact that bilingual children, adults and atypical speakers are investigated. This diversity constitutes the interest of this Research Topic.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book presents an interdisciplinary analysis of social, cognitive, situational and contextual aspects of language and language processing by first and second language speakers. Linguists and psychologists formulate theoretical models and empirical analyses of the influence of such factors on various levels of language processing. These relate specifically to syntactic and semantic parsing, lexical selection, and text production. The issue of ``hearer orientation'' in language use lies at the forefront of interest in this anthology and is tackled from such different fields as linguistics, text linguistics, formal semantics, social psychology, psychology of language, artificial intelligence, and second language acquisition.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection brings together leading names in the field of bilingualism research to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Studies in Bilingualism series. Over the last 25 years the study of bilingualism has received a tremendous amount of attention from linguists, psychologists, cognitive scientists, and neuroscientists. The breadth of coverage in this volume is a testament to the many different aspects of bilingualism that continue to generate phenomenal interest in the scholarly community. The bilingual experience is captured through a multifaceted prism that includes aspects of language and literacy development in child bilinguals with and without developmental language disorders, language processing and mental representations in adult bilinguals across the lifespan, and the cognitive and neurological basis of bilingualism. Different theoretical approaches – from generative UG-based models to constructivist usage-based models – are brought to bear on the nature of bilingual linguistic knowledge. The end result is a compendium of the state-of-the-art of a field that is in constant evolution and that is on an upward trajectory of discovery.

Download or read book The Role of Language Membership Information in Bilingual Language Control written by Liv J. Hoversten and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The human language system is remarkable in many respects, not least of which is the ability to accommodate more than one system of lexical and syntactic knowledge in the same individual. In fact, it is estimated that more than half of the world’s population is bilingual or multilingual. However, the cognitive processes that these individuals use to monitor and select the appropriate language for comprehension and production remain unclear. The goal of this dissertation was to asses different theories regarding bilinguals’ ability to control retrieval of linguistic information from long-term memory during language processing. Specifically, the studies described examined how and when bilinguals use language membership information during the activation and selection of lexical representations from each language for integration into sentence context. Chapter 1 describes an experiment that used the temporal precision of event-related potentials (ERPs) to answer two research questions: when language membership information is accessed relative to semantic access (i.e., conceptual retrieval) during word recognition and whether it can be used to modulate the degree of processing in the target and nontarget languages. Results demonstrated that language membership information becomes available prior to animacy information, which allows the bilingual brain to reduce the depth of processing in the nontarget language. A follow-up experiment described in Chapter 2 extended these results, also using the fine-grained temporal information offered by ERPs to establish the time course of influence of language membership information derived from sublexical sources in particular. Results confirmed that bilinguals are sensitive to orthographic regularities that distinguish between languages, even in the absence of lexical information. Furthermore, orthographic language membership information was available prior to lexical access, which may enable the restriction of lexical candidates to the target language early during word recognition. Finally, Chapter 3 describes an experiment designed to investigate the relative influences of semantic and language context on bilingual visual word recognition during reading. Eye movement data were used to determine the time course of activation of target and nontarget language meanings of interlingual homographs (IHs) when embedded in sentences. In a uniform monolingual language context, no influence of the nontarget language meaning of the IH was found early during lexical access. When the semantic context allowed for the integration of the nontarget but not the target language meaning, bilinguals seem to have accessed the nontarget meaning later during lexical access, only after integration of the target language meaning failed. These results suggest that language context may have allowed participants to ‘zoom in’ to the target language such that the nontarget language was less accessible under these conditions. Together, these experiments demonstrate the potential for partially selective lexical access. According to this perspective, the nontarget language is neither inaccessible nor fully active at all times. While the bilingual word recognition system is permeable to nontarget language representations, representations from target and nontarget languages are activated to different degrees according to their relevance to the global language context. In other words, the bilingual language control system is both flexible and dynamic in adjusting the gain of each language according to a particular context.

This book was released on 2001-12-31 with total page 439 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this volume, the results of a number of empirical studies of the development of narrative construction within a multilingual context are presented and discussed. It is explored what operating principles underlie the process of narrative production in L1 and L2. Developmental relations between form and function will be studied across a broad range of functional categories, such as temporality, perspective, connectivity, and narrative coherence. Moreover, a variety of language contact situations is considered with broad variation in the typological distances between the languages in order to enable cross-linguistic comparison. The analysis of learner data in various cross-linguistic settings may thus offer new information on the role of the structural properties of unrelated languages on the process of narrative acquisition. In the present volume, an attempt is also made to find out how transfer from one language to the other is facilitated. Finally, the effects of input on narrative construction in children’s first and second language are examined in several studies.

This book was released on 2023-04-15 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A great majority of people around the world know more than one language. So, how does knowing one language affect the learning and use of additional languages? The question of cross-language influences is the focus of this book. Do bilinguals hear, understand, and produce language and meaning differently because of the languages they speak? How well can theoretical and computational models of language processing and acquisition explain and predict bilingual use patterns and acquisition trajectories? What learner, language, and context characteristics influence bilingual comprehension and production? This book provides a state-of-the-art review and critique of research into cross-language influences in phonology, lexicon, and morphosyntax, and suggests directions for future research. The interdisciplinary nature of the book bridges the gap between research on bilingualism and second language acquisition. The book will be of interest to graduate students, teachers, and researchers in linguistics and second language acquisition, cognitive psychology, and language education.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This updated and revised edition of Hamers and Blanc's successful textbook presents state-of-the-art knowledge about languages in contact from individual bilingualism (or bilinguality) to societal bilingualism. It is both multi- and interdisciplinary in approach, and analyses bilingualism at individual, interpersonal, and societal levels. Linguistic, cognitive and sociocultural aspects of bilingual development are explored, as are problems such as bilingual memory and polyglot aphasia. Hamers and Blanc analyse the relationship between culture, identity, and language behaviour in multicultural settings, as well as the communication strategies in interpersonal and intergroup relations. They also propose theoretical models of language processing and development, which are then applied to bilingual behaviour. Other topics reviewed include language shift, pidgins and creoles, language planning and bilingual education. This book will be invaluable to students, teachers and scholars interested in languages in contact in a range of disciplines including psycholinguistics, linguistics, the social sciences, education and language planning.
