2. Neuroscience of multilingualism - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuroscience_of...

   Neuroscience of multilingualism is the study of multilingualism within the field of neurology.These studies include the representation of different language systems in the brain, the effects of multilingualism on the brain's structural plasticity, aphasia in multilingual individuals, and bimodal bilinguals (people who can speak at least one sign language and at least one oral language).

3. Neurolinguistics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurolinguistics

   Neurolinguistics research investigates several topics, including where language information is processed, how language processing unfolds over time, how brain structures are related to language acquisition and learning, and how neurophysiology can contribute to speech and language pathology.

4. Cognitive effects of bilingualism - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_effects_of...

   Research on how a bilingual individual's first language (L1) and second language (L2) interact shows that both languages have an influence on the function of one another and on cognitive function outside of language. Research on executive functions like working memory, perception, and attentional and inhibitory control, suggests that bilinguals ...

5. Theories of second-language acquisition - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theories_of_second...

   The main purpose of theories of second-language acquisition (SLA) is to shed light on how people who already know one language learn a second language. The field of second-language acquisition involves various contributions, such as linguistics, sociolinguistics, psychology, cognitive science, neuroscience, and education. These multiple fields ...

6. Developmental linguistics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Developmental_linguistics

   Developmental linguistics is the study of the development of linguistic ability in an individual, particularly the acquisition of language in childhood. It involves research into the different stages in language acquisition, language retention, and language loss in both first and second languages, in addition to the area of bilingualism. Before ...

7. Language processing in the brain - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Language_processing_in_the...

   Language-processing research informs theories of language. The primary theoretical question is whether linguistic structures follow from the brain structures or vice versa. Externalist models, such as Ferdinand de Saussure's structuralism, argue that language as a social phenomenon is external to the brain. The individual receives the ...

8. Bilingual memory - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bilingual_memory

   The techniques allowing researchers to observe brain activity in multilingual patients are conducted whilst the subject is simultaneously performing and processing a language. Research has proposed that the entire production and comprehension of language is most likely regulated and managed by neural pools, whose stations of communication are ...

9. Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Planck_Institute_for...

   The Language and Cognition Department (1994-2017), headed by Stephen C. Levinson, investigated the relationship between language, culture, and general cognition, making use of the natural laboratory of language variation. In this way, the research aimed to bring the perspective of language diversity to a range of central problems in the ...
