Abstract:

This book offers a broad-based account of bilingual processing, drawing on
research findings and current thinking from various domains across cognitive
science. The theoretical approach adopted is the Modular Cognition Framework
in which language processing is characterized as an interaction between
dedicated linguistic systems and the other modules of the human mind. The
latter provide the 'internal context' of bilingual processing. This internal
context involves goals, value, emotion, self, and representations of the
external context. The book combines all these elements into a coherent picture
of the bilingual's internal context and the way it shapes processing. It then
shows how some central concepts in cognitive science and bilingualism fit in
with – and follow from – this view. These concepts include working memory,
consciousness, attention, effort, codeswitching, and the possible cognitive
benefits of being bilingual. The book should be of interest to professionals
in the field as well as postgraduate students and advanced undergraduates.
