Memory, Language, and Bilingualism Theoretical and Applied Approaches Altarriba

Description: Memory, Language, and Bilingualism Theoretical and Applied Approaches A comprehensive and interdisciplinary approach to the study of memory, language and cognitive processing across various populations of bilingual speakers. Jeanette Altarriba (Edited by), Ludmila Isurin (Edited by) 9781107008908, Cambridge University Press Hardback, published 1 November 2012 388 pages 22.9 x 15.2 x 2.2 cm, 0.7 kg 'This volume provides the most thorough, comprehensive, and thoughtful discussions of advanced issues in bilingualism and memory I have seen to date. The writing, by leaders in the field, is exceptionally clear and accessible. I strongly recommend this book - it will be a valuable resource tool for all, from graduate students to seasoned researchers alike.' Norman Segalowitz, Concordia University The relationship between memory and language and the topic of bilingualism are important areas of research in both psychology and linguistics and are grounded in cognitive and linguistic paradigms, theories and experimentation. This volume provides an integrated theoretical/real-world approach to second language learning, use and processing from a cognitive perspective. A strong international and interdisciplinary team of contributors present the results of various explorations into bilingual language processing, from recent advances in studies on bilingual memory to studies on the role of the brain in language processing and language forgetting. This is a strong yet balanced combination of theoretical/overview contributions and accounts of novel, original, empirical studies which will educate readers on the relationship between theory, cognitive experimentation and data and their role in understanding language learning and practice.
