White matter differences between bilinguals and monolinguals revealed by diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Introduction
The two main areas in the human brain associated with language are Broca's and Wernicke's areas. Broca's area (BA) is responsible for speech production, language processing, language comprehension, as well as controlling facial neurons (language outputs). Wernicke's area (WA) is thought to be the language receptive center, which processes the words that we hear or read (language input). A large bundle of neurons, called ...

Translation priming between the native language and a second language: new evidence from Dutch-French bilinguals Ghent University
The role of form in morphological priming: evidence from bilinguals Ghent University
Building vocabulary bridges : exploring pre-service primary school teachers’ dispositions on L2 vocabulary instruction for emergent bilinguals through interactive book reading Ghent University
A strong vocabulary is crucial for language acquisition and can profoundly influence academic and societal success. Interactive book reading (IBR) offers an effective approach for vocabulary instruction as it provides a dynamic and engaging word-learning context. However, as children progress from preschool to primary grades, the emphasis on IBR declines, despite the persistent need for comprehensive literacy education, particularly for emergent ...
Late bilinguals share syntax unsparingly between L1 and L2 : evidence from crosslinguistically similar and different constructions Ghent University
Early lexical composition of Turkish-Dutch bilinguals : nouns before verbs or verbs before nouns Ghent University University of Antwerp
THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN COGNITIVE-LINGUISTIC TASK DIFFICULTY AND L1-L2 INTERACTION FOR ACADEMIC LISTENING COMPREHENSION IN TURKISH-DUTCH EMERGENT BILINGUALS KU Leuven Ghent University
Language Dominance and Sociolinguistic Experience Are Related to Language Control and Domain-General Monitoring Control: An Investigation in Bilinguals Who Live in a Minority/Majority Sociolinguistic Setting Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Bilingual language control in production tasks with language switches is supposed to be linked to domain-general cognitive control. In the present study, we investigated the role of language dominance, measured on a continuous scale, in the relationship between measures of language control elicited through language switching in a picture naming task and non-linguistic cognitive control induced by stimulus-response interference in a Simon task. ...
The role of language and cultural engagement in emotional fit with culture: an experiment comparing Chinese-English bilinguals to monolingual Brits and Chinese KU Leuven
The current study investigated to what extent language and culture shape emotional experience. Specifically, we randomly assigned 178 Chinese-English bilinguals to report on emotional situations, cultural exposure, engagement, and language proficiency in either English as a foreign language (LX) or Chinese (L1). We established their fit with both the typical patterns of emotions among British and Chinese monolinguals and predicted these fit ...
