This book offers a detailed account of the issues, models, and
outcomes of research into the cognition of bilingualism. The first
chapter identifies the most important characteristics of this
research and its historical developments, before the main part of
the book explores studies of four bilingual processing topics. The
first of these is lexico-semantic representation and organization
in bilinguals, which deals with how words and meanings are
represented and connected in the bilingual mind. The second,
cross-language priming, explores the bilingual lexicon by examining
how exposure to words in one language may affect word recognition
in another and leads to the discovery of an asymmetry in
translation priming. The third topic is selective lexical access in
bilinguals, which examines whether bilinguals can selectively
activate one language while suppressing the other, while the fourth
is code switching, focussing on language control and language
regulation mechanisms in bilinguals. The book concludes with a
chapter that reviews research in three areas beyond lexical
processing: autobiographical memory, the representation and
interaction of syntactic knowledge, and the consequences of
bilingualism. The volume demonstrates the theoretical significance
and real-world practical implications of research into bilingual
language processing, and will be a valuable resource for seminars
and courses from advanced undergraduate level upwards.
