How we vary our speech is fundamental in signalling who we are, where we're from and
where we're going. How and when does such variation arise? Here, leading experts …

It is estimated that most language users in the world speak more than one language, ie they
are at least bilingual. In quantitative terms, then, monolingualism may be regarded as the …

The Unified Competition Model views first and second language learning as depending on a
shared set of socio-cognitive processes. Differences between the two types of acquisition …

The study of bilingual aphasia is important because we need to be able to recommend
treatments consistent with a plausible estimate of the course of recovery. Yet we lack a …

In this paper, we discuss the requirements of cognitive architectures for epigenetic robotics,
and highlight the wider role that they can play in the development of the cognitive sciences …

In early speech development, progressive gains in phonetic ability represent progress in
multiple domains (eg, sensory, perceptual, cognitive, linguistic, and neuromotor) all of which …

Lexical Processing and Second Language Acquisition provides a comprehensive overview
of research on second language lexical processing, integrating converging research and …

Word frequency is a strong predictor in most lexical processing tasks. Thus, any model of
word recognition needs to account for how word frequency effects arise. The Discriminative …

Toddlers vary widely in the rate at which they develop vocabulary. This variation predicts
later language development and school success at the group level; however, we cannot …

The last two decades have seen a significant amount of interest in bilingual language
learning and processing. A number of computational models have also been developed to …
