Goals of the workshop
The workshop aims to bring together researchers who study various aspects of bilingualism and second language (L2) acquisition and processing, but who generally do not interact much – in particular people from the Cognitive Neuroscience community who study L2; researchers from the field of Second Language Acquisition (SLA); and individuals from the NIH, NSF and other government agencies who are interested in bilingualism and L2.Cristina Sanz and Michael Ullman, Organizers
