Description
One Mind, Two Languages explores current research in language processing from both linguistic and psycholinguistic perspectives in individuals who speak more than one language. This study delves into questions about whether language can shape thought and what it means to be proficient in a language.
The book focuses on how the multi-language user represents and processes linguistic information, covering methodological issues in bilingual research, new empirical findings, and summaries of relevant past work. It provides an invaluable resource for anyone interested in state-of-the-art research on the status of language processing in bilinguals.
