This new research investi gates the way in which\nbilinguals and second language learners negotiate the presence of\ntwo languages in a single mind and brain. A critical insi ght is\nthat bilingualism and second language learning provide a tool for \nexamining aspects of the cognitive architecture that are otherwise\nobsc ured by the skill associated with native language performance.\nIn this ta lk\, I illustrate this approach to language processing and\nits neural bas is and consider the consequences that bilingualism\nholds for cognition mo re generally.\n DTSTART:20120316T190000Z DTEND:20120316T203000Z LOCATION:CA\, 1160 Pine Ave. West\, 1160 Pine Ave. West\, Room 501\, Goodma n Cancer Centre\, Montreal\, QC SUMMARY:Being bilingual: What juggling two languages tells us about the min d and the brain - CANCELLED URL:/channels/event/being-bilingual-what-juggling-two- languages-tells-us-about-mind-and-brain-cancelled-213721 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
