Traditional research in bilingualism has consistently found that switching languages is
effortful, placing demands on neural systems of cognitive control. This finding runs counter to …

To achieve fluent language processing as a bilingual, a dominant theoretical framework
assumes that the nontarget language is inhibited. This assumption is based on several …

This article presents an overview of recent research on the phonetics of early bilinguals,
individuals who have acquired both of their languages early in life, by either growing up …

As we age, sensory and cognitive changes occur that create challenges for language
processing. At the same time, we gain increased experience and expertise with language …

In the current study, we set out to investigate language control, which is the process that
minimizes cross-language interference, during bilingual language comprehension …

Language switching is often associated with language competition and switching costs.
However, the underlying mechanisms might differ depending on context (free versus cued …

Despite its prominent use among bilinguals, psycholinguistic studies reported code-switch
processing costs (eg, Meuter & Allport, 1999). This paradox may partly be due to the focus …

Code-switching has been found to incur a processing cost in auditory comprehension.
However, listeners may have access to anticipatory phonetic cues to code-switches …

The most widely discussed observation in the language control literature is the larger cost
found when switching into the first than the second language (ie, asymmetrical switch costs) …

Aims and objectives: While previous research on code-switching, defined as the alternation
between two languages in a single interaction, has focused on syntactic sociopragmatic …
