Abstract

Investigators have studied bilingual speakers to examine whether there is differential laterization when more than one language is acquired. A separate line of research has investigated patterns of laterization for signed languages (e.g. American Sign Language) in deaf persons to assess the extent to which language modality may influence brain organization. The present study aims to look at the intersection of two endeavours, namely, language laterization in bimodal bilinguals, that is, in hearing bilinguals who are fluent in ASL (American Sign Language) and English.
