Abstract:

Does the language we speak affect the way we think? This Element provides a
synthesis of contemporary research on the interplay between language and
cognition in speakers of two or more languages and examines variables deemed
to impact bilingual acquisition and conceptualization of language-specific
thinking patterns during L2 learning. An overview of different yet
interrelated studies is offered across a variety of conceptual domains to
illustrate different approaches and key variables. The comparison of
monolingual and bilingual data demonstrates the highly integrative nature
between L2 learning and the changing of one's entire cognitive outlook in L2
speakers. This Element makes relevant connections between language learning
and bilingual cognition, aiming to shed new light on how learners acquire
conceptual distinctions of the target language(s). It also raises theoretical
and pedagogical issues that encourage teachers to reflect upon how to
incorporate recent advances in language-and-cognition research with aspects of
L2 teaching.
