Il cervello bilingue
by Garraffa Maria, Sorace Antonella, Vender Maria, Garraffa Maria, Sorace Antonella, Vender MariaWhat happens in the brains of multiple language learners? Can speaking more than one language provide cognitive benefits over a lifetime? Are there languages that are more important than others? Is it possible to learn a language as an adult? Can bilingualism be a barrier to those with specific language or learning disabilities or disorders? What implications does the increase in the bilingual population have for society? And what are the factors that can foster and support bilingualism in children and adults? These are some of the questions the book aims to answer in this journey into the bilingual brain, starting with the results of the most recent studies conducted internationally.
