The past fifteen years have witnessed an increasing interest in the cognitive study of the bilingual. A major reason why psychologists, psycholinguists, applied linguists, neuropsychologists, and educators have pursued this topic at an accelerating pace presumably is the acknowledgment by increasingly large numbers of language researchers that the incidence of monolingualism in individual language users may be lower than that of bilingualism. This alleged numerical imbalance between monolinguals and bilinguals may be expected to become larger due to increasing international travel through, for instance, tourism and trade, to the growing use of international communication networks, and to the fact that in some parts of the world (i.e., Europe), the borders between countries are effectively disappearing. In addition to the growing awareness that bilinguals are very common and may even outnumber monolinguals, there is the dawning understanding that the bilingual mind is not simply the sum of the cognitive processes associated with each of the two monolingual modes, and that the two languages of bilingual may interact with one another in complicated ways. To gain a genuinely universal account of human cognition will therefore require a detailed understanding of language use by both pure monolinguals as well as bilinguals, unbalanced and balanced, and of the representations and processes involved. These two insights, that bilingualism is a common human condition and that it may influence cognition, were presumably instrumental in putting bilingualism on the agendas of many researchers of cognition and language in recent years. But other reasons may have played a role too: The study of bilingualism also provides a unique opportunity to study the relation between language and thought. A final reason for the growing interest in this area of research is the awareness that bilingualism may confer the benefit of broadening one's scope beyond the limits of one's own country and culture. This book serves as an excellent introduction to the important topics in the psycholinguistic study of bilingualism. The chapters represent a comprehensive and interrelated set of topics that form the core of contemporary research on the psycholinguistics of bilingualism. The issues raised within this perspective not only increase our understanding of the nature of language and thought in bilinguals but also of the basic nature of the mental architecture that supports the ability to use more than one language.

Both SLPs and researchers must understand speech and language developments in children - and SLPs also need reliable assessment and intervention approaches for serving bilingual children with language disorders. This comprehensive text is one of the few to offer readers in-depth theoretical and practical information on these timely topics. brings together more than a dozen top researchers to present developmental data, best assessment practices, and appropriate intervention approaches in the following areas: language processing skills; lexical development; morpho-syntactic development; first language loss; grammatical impairments; semantic development; phonological development and disorders; narrative development and disorders; fluency; language intervention for bilingual speakers. The chapter outlines the major purposes of intervention for bilingual children with speech and language disorders, explores the debate over which language SLPs should use with bilingual children, and examines ways to promote gains in both languages. With this research-based text, SLPs will understand the complexity of language development in bilingual children and learn appropriate assessment and intervention approaches.

Four studies explored patterns of language growth and processing in 64 19-31-month-old bilingual children acquiring English and Spanish. In the first study, cross-sectional and longitudinal methods revealed significant relationships between vocabulary size and grammatical development, replicating previous studies with monolingual children. The compositions of children's lexicons in each language were linked to vocabulary size in that language. With few exceptions, utterance length and complexity and the emergence of closed class and predicate terms in each language were linked more closely to vocabulary size in the same language than to total conceptual vocabulary (TCV) size. In the second study, performance on English and Spanish sentence repetition tests was compared for bilingual and monolingual children matched for vocabulary size in each language. The performance of the bilingual children was similar to that of their monolingual controls, indicating links between grammatical ability and vocabulary development within the same language. The slightly better performance of the bilingual children on a few comparisons suggested some degree of cross-linguistic bootstrapping. In the third study, event-related potentials (ERPs) were used to investigate the neural activity of bilingual children as they processed known and unknown words. There were differences in the timing and distribution of the ERP amplitude differences to known vs. unknown words for each language, and differences in these effects when children with larger TCV sizes were compared to those with smaller TCV sizes. These results thus replicated studies with monolingual children that found links between vocabulary development and the organization of ERP effects, although the exact patterns were different for the bilingual and monolingual children. In the fourth study the effects of mixed vs. blocked language testing conditions on ERP patterns were investigated. Results indicated that some of the differences in ERP effects between the monolingual and bilingual children noted in the third study may have been due to processing demands created by the mixed-language testing condition in which the bilingual children were tested. The results of these four studies support experience-based accounts of early language acquisition, and further establish the use of combined behavioral-neural imaging approaches for studying language development in bilingual toddlers.

Four different cross-sectional studies were conducted in order to examine lexical skills in early sequential Spanish-English bilinguals. All participants had learned Spanish as a first language (L1) in the home, with formal English (L2) experience beginning at approximately 5 years. Participants were grouped into five different age levels (5-7, 8-10, 11-13, 14-16 & 18-20 years). The primary objectives of these studies were to investigate changes in basic-level lexical skills in early sequential bilinguals, in both L1 and L2, as a function of age, years of L2 experience, modality (comprehension vs. production), and varied cognitive-linguistic processing demands (in single- vs. mixed-language conditions). Combined results from the static, discrete point measures of lexical knowledge and the dynamic experimental measures of lexical access indicate that gains were made in both languages across age. These gains, however, were generally greater in English (L2) than in Spanish (L1). There was a developmental cross-over from Spanish dominance in the youngest children, through a period of relatively "balanced" cross-linguistic skills in middle childhood, culminating in a clear pattern of English dominance by adolescence. The age at which this cross-over from relative Spanish to English dominance occurred, however, varied as a function of modality (i.e., with the switch appearing first in comprehension and later in production). In the mixed-language-processing condition the results were also split across modalities. That is, there were no response decrements in the language-mixed-relative to language-blocked-processing condition for the dynamic-comprehension task. In contrast, in the dynamic-production task there was a significant slowing of response times in the mixed-language condition across all age groups. There were also changes in the pattern of speed-accuracy trade-offs in the mixed condition that may reflect developmental changes in the ability to resist cognitive interference during language processing. In summary, there was a general convergence across lexical measures, indicating that normal sequential bilingual development in children takes place over a protracted period--one that is marked by points of balance, shifts in language dominance, variable rates of growth as well as potential trade-offs in the cost of regulating this dynamic dual-language system
