The definitive guide to 21st century investigations of
multilingual neuroscience
The Handbook of the Neuroscience of Multilingualism provides a
comprehensive survey of neurocognitive investigations of
multiple-language speakers. Prominent scholar John W. Schwieter offers a
unique collection of works from globally recognized researchers in
neuroscience, psycholinguistics, neurobiology, psychology, neuroimaging,
and others, to provide a multidisciplinary overview of relevant topics.
Authoritative coverage of state-of-the-art research provides readers
with fundamental knowledge of significant theories and methods, language
impairments and disorders, and neural representations, functions, and
processes of the multilingual brain.
Focusing on up-to-date theoretical and experimental research, this
timely handbook explores new directions of study and examines
significant findings in the rapidly evolving field of multilingual
neuroscience. Discussions on the bilingual advantage debate, recovery
and rehabilitation patterns in multilingual aphasia, and the
neurocognitive effects of multilingualism throughout the lifespan allow
informed investigation of contemporary issues.
- Presents the first handbook-length examination of the neuroscience and
neurolinguistics of multilingualism
- Demonstrates how neuroscience and multilingualism intersect several
areas of research, such as neurobiology and experimental psychology
- Includes works from prominent international scholars and researchers
to provide global perspective
- Reflects cutting-edge research and promising areas of future study in
the dynamic field of multilingual neuroscience
The Handbook of the Neuroscience of Multilingualism is an invaluable
resource for researchers and scholars in areas including
multilingualism, psycholinguistics, second language acquisition, and
cognitive science. This versatile work is also an indispensable addition
to the classroom, providing advanced undergraduate and graduate students
a thorough overview of the field.
