Using an innovative brain imaging technology, functional Near Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS), we investigated how adult bilinguals process semantic information, both in speech and in print, in a monolingual language context (one language at a time) or in a bilingual language context (two languages in rapid alternation).
Therefore, a better understanding of how Japanese English bilinguals process these loanwords/cognates is an important area for research.
He also believes that some of the innovations pioneered at Avenues will eventually be adopted by government-funded schools; the bilingual immersion process, for instance, could be introduced at next to no cost, he reckons.
Thus we ask, do monolingual and bilingual brains process language similarly or dissimilarly, and is this affected by the language context?
Scientists have long assumed that the "bilingualism advantage" — the enhanced ability to filter out important information among nonimportant material — stems from how bilingual people process language.
In recent years, cognitive scientists have become increasingly interested in how bilingual speakers process words, phrases, and sentences in their second language (L2).
So what exactly did you find on this unexpected road? A. As we did our research, you could see there was a big difference in the way monolingual and bilingual children processed language.
Thus, brain areas associated in particular with executive control processes in bilingual language processing are the left caudate, the ACC, and the pre-SMA.
The ability to speak more than one language has always been intriguing, and has led researchers to conducting investigations whose findings suggest that bilingualism can actually enhance some of bilinguals' cognitive processes throughout life (e.g. Bialystok et al. 2004; Bialystok et al. 2005a, b).
Research shows that a bilingual does not process language by accessing one lexicon exclusively depending on the language being used (Dijkstra, 2007).
