The study of bilingualism and all of its aspects - from theory and
models to social approaches and their practical applications -
forms the cornerstone of the 2nd edition of this work. The chapters
cover the latest advancements in the domains of psycholinguistics,
neuroscience, creativity, and executive functioning. Contributions,
new to this edition, offer the reader the most up-to-date research
on lifespan and developmental issues. The work also provides
insight into how human language is processed by all, not just by
bilingual and multilingual speakers. This text is ideal for senior
undergraduate and graduate courses in psycholinguistics and the
psychology of language, especially those with an emphasis on
bilingualism or second language learning.
The aim of this volume is to integrate the current literature about
the psychological dimensions of bilingualism: that is, to analyze
psychological, subjective, and internal perspectives on
bilingualism. What is the internal world of bilinguals like? How do
they perceive the world and how do they think? What are the
advantages and disadvantages of being bilingual? How does
bilingualism interact with personality? In what way does being
bilingual impact the aging mind? Renowned and emerging scholars
alike explore these questions in the collected chapters. The
organization of the book features four main component parts: (1)
the inner cognitive world of the bilingual mind (2) bilingual
language representation, and (3) bilingualism across the lifespan,
and 4) bilingual cognitive and personality dimensions. Taken
collectively, the included chapters provide a multidimensional and
up-to-date perspective on bilingual studies, specifically
concentrating on the cognitive and emotional dimensions of the
individual. Chapter topics include: Conceptual Metaphor Theory
Bilingual Figurative Language Processing Aging in Bilinguals
Psychopathology in Bilinguals Personality Traits in Bilinguals
Addressing the growing demand for bilingual research, this
collection provides a timely and much needed perspective on the
bilingual as an individual, exploring his/her internal world and a
range of phenomena, including emotional word processing,
personality traits, language effects on the mind, and cognitive
effects of bilingualism. As such, it will appeal to a wide range of
readers across various intellectual and professional arenas,
including cognitive psychologists, personality psychologists,
psycholinguists, educational psychologists and second language
teachers, among others.
The collected essays in this volume present an overview and
state-of-the-field of traditional and recently developed
methodological approaches to the study of bilingual reading
comprehension. It critically reviews and examines major findings
from classical behavioral approaches such as the visual moving
window, rapid-serial visual presentation (RSVP), and eye-tracking,
as well as newly developing neuropsycholinguistic methodologies
such as Event-Related Potentials (ERPS), and Functional Magnetic
Resonance Imaging (fMRI). Written to address a timely topic,
Methods in Bilingual Reading Comprehension Research updates the
field of bilingual reading by critically examining the
contributions of the various behavioral and technologically-based
reading techniques used to understand psychological processes
underlying written language comprehension. Each topic is covered
first from a theoretical, and then from an experimental, viewpoint.
Moreover, the volume contributes to the development and
establishment of Bilingual Reading as a subfield of bilingual
sentence processing and fills a significant gap in the literature
on bilingual language processing and thought. Significantly,
Methods in Bilingual Reading Comprehension Research presents an
overall view of some of the typical psycholinguistic techniques and
approaches, as well as proposing other possible tasks that may
prove viable in investigating such theoretical issues as bilingual
lexical ambiguity resolution, or how bilingual speakers might
resolve multiple sources of potentially conflicting information as
they comprehend sentences and discourse during the communicative
process. In addition, to aid reader comprehension and encourage
readers to acquire "hands on" experience in the creation and
development of experiments in the realm of bilingual reading
research, each chapter includes a list of key words, suggested
student research projects, and questions to both help the reader
review the chapter and expand upon the reading. With its
comprehensive coverage of a crucial subfield of psycholinguistics
and language processing, Methods in Bilingual Reading Comprehension
Research is an invaluable and informative resource for all students
and researchers in bilingualism, neurolinguistics, bilingual
cognition, and other related fields.

Foundations of Bilingual Memory provides a valuable update to the
field of bilingual memory and offers a new psychological
perspective on how the bilingual mind encodes, stores, and
retrieves information. This volume emphasizes theoretical issues,
such as classic memory approaches, Compound-Coordinate
Bilingualism, Bilingual Dual Coding Theory, and Working Memory,
about which relatively little has been written in the bilingual
domain. Also covered are: * The neuropsychology of bilingual memory
* Applied issues (such as false memories and bilingualism, emotion
and memory) * Empirical findings in support of the uniqueness of
the different memory systems of the bilingual individual *
Connectionist models of bilingualism The volume represents the
first book of its kind, in stressing a memory perspective with
regards to bilingual speakers. It can serve as an advanced text for
both undergraduate and graduate level students and it will be of
great interest to the growing number of bilingual teachers and
university classes interested in understanding the bilingual mind,
as well as in preparing teachers to work with the bilingual
individual.

This book provides students and researchers of bilingualism with
the most recent methodological and theoretical advances on how
bilinguals resolve ambiguous information across languages. With
reports on the latest findings from the behavioral and
neuropsychological fields, the authors survey the latest research
into bilingual language-system modelling and bilingual lexical
ambiguity processing. Each chapter looks at bilingual ambiguity
resolution both at the word and sentence levels, explaining how
bilinguals ultimately comprehend ambiguous information arising from
languages they already know. This volume not only explores enduring
theoretical questions in bilingual research, such as bilingual
representation and language processing, but also evaluates the
extent to which the existing bilingual models can satisfactorily
account for the most recent research findings.
Bilingual Figurative Language Processing is a timely book that
provides a much-needed bilingual perspective to the broad field of
figurative language. This is the first book of its kind to address
how bilinguals acquire, store, and process figurative language,
such as idiomatic expressions (such as kick the bucket), metaphors
(such as lawyers are sharks), and irony, and how these tropes might
interact in real time across the bilingual's two languages. This
volume offers the reader and the bilingual student an overview of
the major strands of research, both theoretical and empirical,
currently being undertaken in this field of inquiry. At the same
time, Bilingual Figurative Language Processing provides readers and
undergraduate and graduate students with the opportunity to acquire
hands-on experience in the development of psycholinguistic
experiments in bilingual figurative language. Each chapter includes
a section on suggested student research projects. Selected chapters
provide detailed procedures on how to design and develop
psycholinguistic experiments.
