Opis

The Multilingual Mind explores, within a processing perspective, how languages share space and interact in our minds.

Recenzje

'The book offers an extensive description of the MOGUL (Modular On-line Growth and Use of Language) framework. The proposal is interesting, parsimonious, and elegant. The book is easy to follow, clearly written, and well organised (notably, each chapter opens with a chapter outline and concludes with a useful chapter summary), and the exposition is coherent.' Marta De Pedis, LINGUIST List
