From the Field to the Lab: A Converging Methods Approach to the Study of Codeswitching

Variation in the ways by which an individual processes codeswitched language may reveal fundamental dynamics of the language system that are otherwise obscured under unilingual conditions. Despite this, an important aspect that has been largely neglected in the field is the role of the bilingual exp...

Despite this, an important aspect that has been largely neglected in the field is the role of the bilingual experience in language processing.
