Abstract:

The study of bilingualism has charted a dramatically new, important, and
exciting course in the 21st century, benefiting from the integration in
cognitive science of theoretical linguistics, psycholinguistics, and cognitive
psychology (especially work on the higher-level cognitive processes often
called executive function or executive control). Current research, as
exemplified in this book, advances the study of the effects of bilingualism on
executive function by identifying many different ways of being bilingual,
exploring the multiple facets of executive function, and developing and
analyzing tasks that measure executive function. The papers in this volume (21
chapters), by leading researchers in bilingualism and cognition, investigate
the mechanisms underlying the effects (or lack thereof) of bilingualism on
cognition in children, adults, and the elderly. They take us beyond the
standard, classical, black-and-white approach to the interplay between
bilingualism and cognition by presenting new methods, new findings, and new
interpretations.
