The future of language control research lies in the mapping of this circuit as a whole, presenting potential opportunities for bilingual aphasia therapy.doi:10.1063/1.3046547Kciuk OlgaFaculty of Arts and Science, University of TorontoKciuk, O.

Although the majority of people worldwide are bilingual, the brain representation of language in bilingual persons is still a matter of debate. Since the beginning of the studies conducted on bilinguals, most authors denied that learning a new language requires a new semantic processing or the invo...
1.1. Language Control and Cross-Language Intrusions This study examines bilingual language control among bilingual children as reflected in cross-language errors produced in a sentence repetition task. Language control enables the bilingual to monitor speech production, in particular, to use the intended...
Most present models of bilingual language control assume that when selecting words in one language, the lexical nodes of both languages can receive activation from the semantic system (Bobb and Wodniecka, 2013, Colomé, 2001, Declerck and Philipp, 2015). According to these language-unspecific se...
48. The IFG then coordinates this network with significant participation of semantic memory and cognitive control as well as lexical retrieval64. In this regard, the IFG also plays a significant role in modulating competition between L1 and L2 in a language control network19,65. Second, a ...
To foreshadow our key results, all languages, including completely unfamiliar ones, engage the entire frontotemporal language-selective brain network to a greater degree than a perceptually matched control condition. The level of response to different languages generally scales with self-reported proficiency...
In addition to impairment in timing of independent articulators, difficulties for anterior aphasics have also emerged with laryngeal control. They have shown impairments in voicing in the production of voiced fricatives (Baum, 1996; Baum et al., 1990; Harmes et al., 1984; Kent & Rosenbek, 198...
Bridging language and attention: Brain basis of the impact of bilingualism on cognitive control Using two languages on an everyday basis appears to have a positive effect on general-purpose executive control in bilinguals. However, the neural correlat... G Garbin,Ana Sanjuan,Cristina Forn,... ...
Behavioural studies investigating word processing in bilinguals generally report faster response times (RTs) for first (L1) than for second (L2) language words. To examine the locus of this language effect, this study used behavioural data and event-related potentials (ERPs) collected from bilinguals...
For a long time, the possibility of resistance to mind control via keeping stories out of circulation was severely curtailed by technology. Even when Achebe decided that he would become a writer to tell the story of colonized Nigerians in the middle of the 20th century, getting his stories pu...
