Bilingualism, executive function, and beyond : questions and insights / [edited by] Irina A. Sekerina, Lauren Spradlin, Virginia Valian.

The study of bilingualism has charted a dramatically new, important, and exciting course in the 21st century, benefiting from the integration in cognitive science of theoretical linguistics, psycholinguistics, and cognitive psychology (especially work on the higher-level cognitive processes often ca...
