Meeting Description: 

(Session at 8th Young Linguists’ Meeting in Poznan)

Bi- and multilingualism has long been a cornerstone of psycholinguistics
research. Indeed, our understanding of how the brain processes two or more
languages has dramatically increased over the last 50 years. Yet, the process
and transition from being monolingual to bi- or multilingual is not yet fully
understood and requires more scholarly attention. Specifically, the
early-stage processes involved in integrating a foreign language (LX) with a
native language have remained largely unexplored. This is likely due to the
unique challenges that second language acquisition (SLA) research faces – age
of acquisition, language environment, quantity and quality of LX exposure, and
linguistic distance are only a few of the parameters that need to be taken
into account. The purpose of this session is to explore various behavioral and
psychological factors, as well as potential limitations and challenges in
foreign language acquisition research.
