The term “multicompetence” was originally defined as “the compound state of a mind with
two grammars”(Cook, 1991); in the context of that paper,“grammar” was used in the …

Although research has consistently shown that a bilingual's two languages interact on

We investigated the behavioral and brain responses (ERPs) of bilingual word recognition to
three fundamental psycholinguistic factors, frequency, morphology, and lexicality, in early …
