language "locations" in the brain

[Danielle Cyr]

Dear Suzette,

As an additional idea (or I'm perhaps simply reinventing the wheel...),
did you look into eye movement for mlinguals retrieving memorized texts
in one of their non-native languages?  I suggest that, because recently,
as I was reciting a poem in Swedish, then my own French translation of
it, for a friend who is a psychologist, she made the comment that my eye
movements were different in the different languages.  She said that when
reciting in Swedish I seemed to be searching in the right brain, while
when reciting in French (my mother tongue) I seemed to be searching in
the left brain.  I'm not at all a specialist of those questions and I
don't know if my friend is  either, so you judge by yourself.

Best,

Danielle Cyr
