Bilingual memory revisited (again)
The question of how a bilingual's two languages are represented in memory has been heavily debated in the bilingualism literature. Under this debate, there has been seemingly contradictory experimental evidence for both the interdependent (shared) and independent (separate) views of bilingual memory. In Harris' (1992) seminal volume on Bilingual Cognitive Processing , it was pointed out that bilingual memory effects may be dependent on the task d…
An online (r)examination of frequency and context effects in code-switching using the auditory moving window
Aims and objectives/purpose/research questions: This study revisits the finding that code-switched language comprehension takes longer than non-switched language. Design/methodology/approach: Using an auditory moving window task, bilinguals operating in single (English) or dual (Spanish–English) language communities listened to sentences presented auditorily. Sentences in Experiments 1a to b were in Spanish and critical targets were either a code…
How childhood languages shape future language use and cultural orientation
In this paper, we investigate the effect that parents’ language use (English, Spanish-English or Spanish) had on self-perceived proficiency, frequency of use, language anxiety, code-switching and cultural orientation of 206 Spanish-English bilinguals and multilinguals who were students in Texas where there is a strong presence of Spanish, the minority language. Our results showed that languages that parents had used with their children had a priv…

In this volume, Vásquez accounts the detailed development of an after-school project specifically designed to assist and prepare Mexican-American students to acquire the “social and cultural capital (knowledge of know how to )” necessary to understand the workings of the dominant culture,…

Bilingual Language Mixing
Bilingual speakers often code-switch from one language to another, especially when both languages are used in the environment. This article explores the potential theoretical explanations for this language behavior, the costs and benefits associated with language switching, and the role of language dominance in the direction of the switch. In short, code switching follows functional and grammatical principles and is a complex, rule-governed pheno…
