LINGUIST 242B: Bilingualism (LINGUIST 142B)
Are bilinguals merely the combination of two monolinguals? Do bilinguals think differently in each language? How do bilinguals manage the complexity of two languages in their minds and daily interactions? This course offers a theoretical exploration of bilingualism and second language acquisition through a psycholinguistic lens. Topics covered include heritage and second language acquisition, language comprehension and production, speech perception, language attrition, code-switching, and cognitive and neurolinguistic development. Through lecture discussions and hands-on analysis, students will gain a deeper understanding of the intricacies of bilingual language use and its psychological underpinnings. Prerequisites:
