The current study examines the labels and descriptions reported in 186 studies comparing bilinguals and monolinguals published between 2005–2015 in order to understand how bilingualism has been operationalized and to describe the degree to which different facets of bilingual…

Not All Bilinguals Are the Same: A Call for More Detailed Assessments and Descriptions of Bilingual Experiences

It is crucial to carefully examine and describe not only a bilingual’s proficiency and age of acquisition, but also their language use and switching as well as the different interactional contexts in which they use their languages.

Bilingual language use is context dependent: using the Language and Social Background Questionnaire to assess language experiences and test-rest reliability

ABSTRACT Bilingualism is a multi-faceted experience and bilinguals differ in how they use their languages in daily life. Therefore, assessments of bilingualism that consider the role of (social)…

Defining bilingualism in infancy and toddlerhood: A scoping review

An overview of the population and languages studied and the methods and practices surrounding the definition of bilingualism in children below age 3 is provided, concluding that a lack of uniformity of definition in the field may be one factor that predicts whether or not significant differences are reported.

A systematic review of bilingual experiences, labels, and descriptions in autism spectrum disorder research

To further understand how ASD and bilingualism intersect across studies, to facilitate meta-science development, and to balance generalizability with specificity, reporting common characteristics of bilingual experiences is recommended.

Am I truly monolingual? Exploring foreign language experiences in monolinguals

Monolingualism has typically been understood as a homogeneous phenomenon. The linguistic experiences of monolinguals are usually overlooked when analysing the impact of foreign language experiences…

Understanding the consequences of bilingualism for language processing and cognition

It is argued that the tendency to consider bilingualism as a unitary phenomenon explained in terms of simple component processes has created a set of apparent controversies that masks the richness of the central finding in this work: the adult mind and brain are open to experience in ways that create profound consequences for both language and cognition.
