Linguistic Approaches to Bilingualism

LAB provides an outlet for cutting-edge, contemporary studies on bilingualism. LAB assumes a broad definition of bilingualism, including: adult L2 acquisition, simultaneous child bilingualism, child L2 acquisition, adult heritage speaker competence, L1 attrition in L2/Ln environments, and adult L3/Ln acquisition. LAB solicits high quality articles of original research assuming any cognitive science approach to understanding the mental representation of bilingual language competence and performance, including cognitive linguistics, emergentism/connectionism, generative theories, psycholinguistic and processing accounts, and covering typical and atypical populations.

实验室为前沿的、当代的双语研究提供了一个出口。LAB对双语的定义较为宽泛，包括:成人第二语言习得、儿童同时使用两种语言、儿童第二语言习得、成人语言传承者的说话能力、L2/Ln环境中的L1磨蚀、成人L3/Ln习得。实验室征集高质量的原创研究论文，假设任何认知科学方法来理解双语语言能力和表现的心理表征，包括认知语言学、紧急/连接主义、生成理论、心理语言学和加工帐户，并涵盖典型和非典型人群。
