Abstract

Abstract

Experimental research has yielded many important psycholinguistic findings in bi-/multilingualism. However, cognitive computational models of sentence processing were limited to the single-language case until recently. In this methodological review, we discuss cognitive modelling work that uses the Bilingual Dual-path model to simulate experimental research on bilingual sentence production, processing, and development. As a detailed example of such work, we then report on new simulations conducted with the model. Finally, we suggest directions for future cognitive modelling research using this model.
