Dear Colleagues,

Bilingualism has been reported to confer advantages in cognitive domains such
as Executive Functions and Theory of Mind (Adesope et al., 2010; Bialystok,
2011; Schroeder, 2018). These areas may be specifically impaired in subgroups
of children with developmental disorders (DD), including but not limited to
those with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Developmental Language Disorder
(DLD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Down syndrome (DS)
(Yirmiya et al., 1996; Happé et al., 2006; Korkmaz, 2011; Crisci et al.,
2021). While research indicates that children with DD can successfully acquire
two languages (Kay-Raining Bird, 2016), work specifically exploring the
cognitive effects of this linguistic experience is scarce. The findings of
such work would be of both theoretical and practical relevance: theoretically,
they would shed new light on the language-cognition interface, and
practically, they would allow parents of children with DD to make
evidence-based decisions regarding dual language exposure. 

This Special Issue of Languages thus welcomes investigations of the effects of
bilingualism on the cognitive abilities of children with DD. We request that,
prior to submitting a manuscript, interested authors initially submit a
proposed title and an abstract of 400-600 words summarizing their intended
contribution. Please send it to Stephanie Durrleman
(stephanie.durrleman at unige.ch) or to the /Languages/ editorial office
(languages at mdpi.com). Abstracts will be reviewed by the guest editor for the
purposes of ensuring proper fit within the scope of the Special Issue. Full
manuscripts will undergo double-blind peer-review. 

The tentative completion schedule is as follows:

Abstract submission deadline: 15 January 2022
Notification of abstract acceptance: 15 February 2022
Full manuscript deadline: 15 July 2022
