This book analyses changing views on bilingualism in Cognitive
Psychology and explores their socio-cultural embeddedness. It
offers a new, innovative perspective on the debate on possible
cognitive (dis)advantages in bilinguals, arguing that it is biased
by popular "language myths", which often manifest themselves in the
form of metaphors. Since its beginnings, Cognitive Psychology has
consistently modelled the coexistence between languages in the
brain using metaphors of struggle, conflict and competition.
However, an ideological shift from nationalist and monolingual
ideologies to the celebration of bilingualism under multicultural
and neoliberal ideologies in the course of the 20th century
fostered opposing interpretations of language coexistence in the
brain and its effects on bilinguals at different moments in time.
This book will be of interest to students and scholars of Cognitive
Psychology, Psycholinguistics, Multilingualism and Applied
Linguistics, Cognitive and Computational Linguistics, and Critical
Metaphor Analysis.
