Bilingual language behaviour is driven by numerous factors that are
usually studied in isolation, even though individual factors never
operate alone. Bringing together key insights from
psycholinguistics and sociolinguistics, Luna Filipovic presents a
new model of bilingual language processing that captures
bilingualism within and across minds. The model enables readers to
explain traditional puzzles in the field, and accounts for some
apparently contradictory reports in different studies. It shows how
theory can be applied in practice and how practice feeds back into
theory, with mutual benefits. Bilinguals are studied in action,
when they interact with other bilinguals or monolinguals, when they
recall witnessed events in real life and in the lab and when they
translate and interpret for the benefit of monolinguals. This
interdisciplinary take on bilingualism in action will lead to new
research on bilingualism itself, and to applications in forensic
linguistics and translation studies.
