Abstract:

Speaking more than one language has a profound impact on both the mind and the
brain. But how does the multilingual brain manage a native language as well as
a non-native language, specifically when the non-native language was acquired
later in development? In this thesis, we aimed to characterise the
multilingual experience of late language learners in three ways. First, we
examined how the cross-linguistic influence (CLI) between the native language
and the non-native language influenced non-native comprehension and non-native
production. Second, we directly compared different multilingual populations to
quantify the broader impact of language similarity on both CLI and non-native
comprehension and production. Third, we examined whether and how language
similarity played a modulating role beyond language processing in terms of
higher cognitive functioning, for example inhibitory control. These are
critical issues because they speak directly to the notion of how the native
language and the non-native language co-exist in the brain. Further, they help
us characterise the functional organisation of these languages in the
multilingual brain. Across several studies, we systematically explored these
three issues by using a range of different experimental paradigms as well as a
combination of behavioural and electroencephalographic measures. In this, we
pushed the theoretical boundaries of the issues in question and contributed
novel evidence to this area of research.
