Kinder- und Jugendpsychiatrie und Psychotherapie (KJPP)

Seminar: The Bilingual Brain, 28. November 2019, 11:00 - 12:30 Uhr, KJPP Neumünsterallee 3, 8032 Zürich

Many studies have investigated the cognitive processes used to produce words in multilingual speakers. However, one criticism of this research is the emphasis on Indo-European languages. The question posed in this presentation is whether the cognitive processes that have been assumed in models of language processing (naming, reading and spelling) apply to multilingual speakers. This question is important because a majority of the global population is multilingual and use very different writing systems. Indeed, even within a language e.g. Japanese and Korean - two or more scripts must be learned to become literate.
