This chapter reviews recent developments on the comprehension of words and sentences in
two languages, which show that the lexicon and grammar have more in common than …

When bilinguals process written language, they show delays in accessing lexical items
relative to monolinguals. The present study investigated whether this effect extended to …

Second language sentence processing is examined here in light of several monolingual
psycholinguistic models of parsing, as well as that of linguistic theories specifically adapted …

Recent studies have demonstrated variation in language processing for monolingual and
bilingual speakers alike, suggesting that only by considering individual differences will an …

In this paper we review recent research on experimental psycholinguistic approaches to the
bilingual lexicon. The focus in this work is to understand how it is that lexical access in both …

Bilinguals' reading strategies were examined in their native and second language via the
recording of eye movements. Experiment 1 examined the processing of sentences that …
