Abstract:

Editor’s Note: This is a new edition of a previously announced book.

Language lies at the heart of the way we think, communicate and view the
world. Most people on this planet are in some sense multilingual. The
Multilingual Mind explores, within a processing perspective, how languages
share space and interact in our minds. The mental architecture proposed in
this volume permits research across many domains in cognitive science to be
integrated and explored within one explanatory framework, recasting compatible
insights and findings in terms of a common set of terms and concepts. The
MOGUL framework has already proven effective for shedding light on the
relationship between processing and learning, metalinguistic knowledge,
consciousness, optionality, crosslinguistic influence, the initial state, 'UG
access', ultimate attainment, input enhancement, and even language
instruction. This groundbreaking work will be essential reading for linguists
working in language acquisition, multilingualism, and language processing, as
well as for those working in related areas of psychology, neurology and
cognitive science.

1. Introduction; Part I. The Framework: 2. The language module: architecture
