In this class we will read and critique aphasiological articles and imaging articles, comparing what they teach us of the phenomenology and underlying brain structures subserving bilingualism and multilingualism. Topics will likely include recovery from bilingual aphasia, language choice, code-switching, critical/sensitive period(s), proficiency, dyslexia and expertise. Students are strongly encouraged to attend the one-day (Friday, September 12) Eleanor Saffran Cognitive Science conference at Temple University in Philadelphia which will focus this year on Language Processing in the Bilingual Brain:  Implications for treatment of developmental and adult language disorders.
