How are languages represented in the human brain? Ideas from
neuroscience have increasingly been applied to the study of
language, exploring the neural processes involved in acquisition,
maintenance and loss of language and languages, and the interaction
between languages in bi- and multilingual speakers. With a sharp
focus on multilingualism, this culmination of cutting-edge research
sheds light on this challenging question. Using data from a variety
of experiments, this is the first book-length study to offer a new
neuroscientific model for analysing multilingualism. Alongside a
comprehensive analysis of the theoretical and experimental
contributions to the field, it presents new data and analysis
obtained from a multilingualism fMRI study. It also includes a
unique longitudinal study of second and third language acquisition
combined with extensive empirically valid language proficiency data
of the subjects. A must-read for researchers and advanced students
interested in neurolinguistics, second language acquisition, and
bi- and multilingualism.
