Psycholinguistics and bilingualism through Prof. Albert Costa’s
mind
A summary of his legacy
This section briefly summarizes Albert Costa’s
main scientific contributions and introduces the main themes
elaborated in the nine chapters comprised in this volume. These
chapters review the main theories and most recent findings related
to bilingual language representation and selection in a broad sense.
They cover topics like the temporal dynamics of lexical access and
selection in monolinguals and bilinguals, the neurolinguistics of
language control, bimodal bilingualism, lexical anticipation,
lexical and syntactic alignment, or the foreign-language effect. All
chapters who are written by internationally renowned researchers and
experts that collaborated with Prof. Costa in developing new (often
pioneering) research. Together, they provide a broad overview of the
state of the art in the psycholinguistics of bilingualism. They
present thought-provoking inquiries and point to future
challenges and new research directions related to each topic.
