Focus: The summer academy will focus on the various relations between multilingualism and cognition: Firstly, the cognitive and neuronal foundations of multilinguals will be addressed, such as the mental representation of the respective language systems and their interdependence, or models of the mental lexicon. Secondly, psycholinguistic aspects of code-switching and code-mixing will be discussed, e.g. triggering and various aspects of transfer. A third focus will be on the consequences of bi- and multilingualism on the speaker’s cognitive system, such as increased metalinguistic awareness and enhanced executive functions.
