two languages, which show that the lexicon and grammar have more in common than …

Infants are prepared by biology to acquire language, but it is the native language (s) they
must learn. Over the first weeks and months of life, infants learn about the sounds and sights …

Bilingualism profoundly affects the brain, yielding functional and structural changes in
cortical regions dedicated to language processing and executive function [Crinion J, et …

Although research has consistently shown that a bilingual's two languages interact on
multiple levels, it is also well‐established that bilinguals can vary considerably in their …

Researchers on bilingual processing can benefit from computational tools developed in
artificial intelligence. We show that a normalized Levenshtein distance function can …

Parallel language activation in bilinguals leads to competition between languages.
Experience managing this interference may aid novel language learning by improving the …

This book presents the author's research into whether speaking multiple languages has a
positive impact on an individual's creative potential. It examines how specific factors in …

Bilinguals have been shown to activate their two languages in parallel, and this process can
often be attributed to overlap in input between the two languages. The present study …

This experimental study tests the Interface Hypothesis by looking into processes at the
syntax–discourse interface, teasing apart acquisition of syntactic, semantic and discourse …

In recent years, multiple studies have shown that the languages of a bilingual interact during
processing. We investigated sign activation as deaf children read words. In a word–picture …
