Understanding how our brains process language is one of the fundamental issues
in cognitive science. In order to reach such understanding, it is critical to
cover the full spectrum of manners in which humans acquire and experience
language. However, due to a myriad of socioeconomic factors research has
disproportionately focused on monolingual English speakers, even though the
majority of the world is in fact multilingual. In this talk, I present a
series of studies that systematically target fundamental questions about
bilingual language use across a range of conversational contexts, both in
production and comprehension. The results lay the groundwork to propose a more
comprehensive theory of the neurobiology of language, with implications for
recovery after brain damage.
