Different insights into bilingual language processing
Xin Wang
Macquarie University
Over the last two decades, Psycholinguistic work in Bilingualism has generated a fast-growing body of evidence and papers to show the non-selective nature of bilingual lexical access and its implications for the linguistic and cognitive architecture of bilingualism. Bilingual research differs from monolingual research in a number of ways, but often modelling bilingualism is based on the same assumptions as in monolingualism. Models can be constrained by research paradigms and language-specific properties. In this talk, I will demonstrate in both spoken and visual domains how/why main stream bilingual models are open to critique and offer alternative explanations of bilingual lexical processing and representations.
About the Speaker
Dr Wang, Xin is a senior lecturer at Macquarie University, Australia. She received her PhD (majored in Second Language Acquisition and minored in Cognitive Science) from the University of Arizona (USA). Then she was supported by a Research Fellowship at the University of Oxford (UK). In addition, for a brief period, she was an assistant professor housed in the Department of English Language and Literature at the National University of Singapore. Her primary research interest is in how L2 is mentally processed and represented in relation to L1, in order to understand the linguistic and cognitive architecture of Bilingualism/Multilingualism. Her recent project is funded by Australia Research Council to understand how tonal information is processed and represented in tonal bilinguals.
