The bilingual journey
Short description of the course:
Students enrolled in this course will go on a journey across bilingualism. Immersed in an international and multilingual environment as that of EU-CONEXUS, we will explore topics such as the following: How do we acquire language(s) and what does it mean to know a language? How many different types of bilinguals are there? Can bilingual development contribute to the shaping of the brain? How does constant juggling between languages affect cognitive functioning (e.g. attention, control)? What are the manifestations of the contact of different linguistic systems? Are there principles governing the switching between languages? How do we obtain the data needed for investigating bilingual development?
