What bilingualism demands
Bilingualism research sits at the intersection of linguistics, cognitive neuroscience, and psychology, yet these disciplines often operate in relative isolation, limiting explanatory power and theoretical progress. This paper argues that deeper, more purposeful cross-fertilization among these fields is both possible and necessary to address some of the most pressing questions in the study of bilingualism. After establishing a shared foundation th…
To bind or not to bind
This study examines how late adolescent Mandarin-English heritage speakers (HSs) process different types of Mandarin pronouns in real time and how individual differences in cognitive and experiential factors modulate this process. Using a web-based visual world eye-tracking paradigm, we tested the interpretation of pronominals ( ta ), simplex reflexives ( ziji ), and complex reflexives ( taziji ), which differ in their reliance on narrow syntax v…
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Second Language Research
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) offers key insights into the varying neurocognitive processes underlying second language (L2) processing, particularly in showing the various regions and networks that serve language processing and control. MRI makes use of the electromagnetic properties of the hydrogen ions within the body to produce highly detailed, three‐dimensional images of the brain, both structural and functional (fMRI). Functional magnetic…
Starting from the very beginning
Monolingual comparative normativity in bilingualism research is out of “ control ”
Herein, we contextualize, problematize, and offer some insights for moving beyond the problem of monolingual comparative normativity in (psycho) linguistic research on bilingualism. We argue that, in the vast majority of cases, juxtaposing (functional) monolinguals to bilinguals fails to offer what the comparison is supposedly intended to do: meet the standards of empirical control in line with the scientific method. Instead, the default nature o…
Exploring nuance in both experience and adaptation
The keynote article by Titone & Tiv (2022) represents a key step forward in characterizing and\nquantifying bilingual experience, and how this may be leveraged to examine neurocognitive outcomes.\nThe framework takes a novel multi-leveled approach to capturing and describing language experience.\nThe first level handles the direct language use dynamics of a given individual or ego-driven language\ndynamics. Beyond the individual or ego is the lev…
The Many Shades of Bilingualism
Recent years have seen an expansion in the research related to structural brain adaptations related to the acquisition and processing of additional languages. However, the accumulating evidence remains to a great extent inconsistent, with a large variety of cortical, subcortical, and cerebellar effects reported in various studies. Here we propose that the variability in the data can be explained by the differences in the language background and e…
Redefining bilingualism as a spectrum of experiences that differentially affects brain structure and function
Learning and using an additional language is shown to have an impact on the structure and function of the brain, including in regions involved in cognitive control and the connections between them. However, the available evidence remains variable in terms of the localization, extent, and trajectory of these effects. Variability likely stems from the fact that bilingualism has been routinely operationalized as a categorical variable (bilingual/mon…
