Does the language we speak affect the way we think? This Element
provides a synthesis of contemporary research on the interplay
between language and cognition in speakers of two or more languages
and examines variables deemed to impact bilingual acquisition and
conceptualization of language-specific thinking patterns during L2
learning. An overview of different yet interrelated studies is
offered across a variety of conceptual domains to illustrate
different approaches and key variables. The comparison of
monolingual and bilingual data demonstrates the highly integrative
nature between L2 learning and the changing of one's entire
cognitive outlook in L2 speakers. This Element makes relevant
connections between language learning and bilingual cognition,
aiming to shed new light on how learners acquire conceptual
distinctions of the target language(s). It also raises theoretical
and pedagogical issues that encourage teachers to reflect upon how
to incorporate recent advances in language-and-cognition research
with aspects of L2 teaching.
