This proposes that both languages of bilinguals are activated in parallel, even in completely monolingual contexts, such that bilinguals cannot completely "turn off" one language (e.g., Martin, Dering, Thomas & Thierry, 2009; Midgley, Holcomb, van Heuven & Grainger, 2008; van Heuven, Dijkstra & Grainger, 1998; van Heuven, Schriefers, Dijkstra & Hagoort, 2008).
