Abstract

Michel Paradis, A neurolinguistic theory of bilingualism. Amsterdam: John Benjamins, 2004. Pp. 293. Hb $138.00, Pb $39.95.

Researchers and students of applied linguistics and anyone interested in bilingualism and second language learning will find this nontechnical and accessible state-of-the-art survey useful. Regardless of which neurolinguistic theory of bilingualism ends up holding sway, it is in the central nervous system that the core mental operations that underlie language use are materially computed. So, as we do our work, it is good to keep an eye on what's going on here.
