Abstract
- Item does not contain fulltext Although precise numbers are lacking, in the world at large there may be more multilinguals than monolinguals when we define “multilingualism” as the regular use of two or more languages. This prominence of multilingualism in the world has its consequences for psycholinguistic research, because the language processing system might be differently organized in monolinguals and bilinguals. In fact, research might miss out on important characteristics or limitations of the language processing system when the workings of only one language (often English) are investigated. In this review chapter, a number of questions is posed with respect to the multingual lexicon. How are words stored in the mental lexicon of multilinguals? How does a multilingual retrieve words in reading, listening, and speaking? What is the effect of context and cognitive control on multilingual processing? What models have been proposed to account for the available data? What can cognitive neuroscience contribute to bilingualism?
