Abstract:

How are languages represented in the human brain? Ideas from neuroscience have
increasingly been applied to the study of language, exploring the neural
processes involved in acquisition, maintenance and loss of language and
languages, and the interaction between languages in bi- and multilingual
speakers. With a sharp focus on multilingualism, this culmination of
cutting-edge research sheds light on this challenging question. Using data
from a variety of experiments, this is the first book-length study to offer a
new neuroscientific model for analysing multilingualism. Alongside a
comprehensive analysis of the theoretical and experimental contributions to
the field, it presents new data and analysis obtained from a multilingualism
fMRI study. It also includes a unique longitudinal study of second and third
language acquisition combined with extensive empirically valid language
proficiency data of the subjects. A must-read for researchers and advanced
students interested in neurolinguistics, second language acquisition, and bi-
and multilingualism.

1. Assembling the pieces, the neuroscience disciplines essential for the study
of language and brain; 2. Building the basis, linguistic contributions to a
theory of language and their relevance to the study of language and brain; 3.
Neuroscience applications to the study of multilingualism; 4. Exploring the
boundaries of cognitive linguistics and neurolinguistics: re-imagining
cross-cultural contributions; 5. Imaging technologies in the study of
multilingualism: focus on BOLD fMRI; 6. Reassembling the pieces: languages and
brains.
