Abstract The current study adds to research investigating the influence of bilingualism on third language (L3) acquisition, more specifically assumption that two previously acquired languages enhance acquisition an additional language. We here rely data from 1,409 bilingual (Russian-/Turkish-German) and monolingual (German) students grades seven nine, sampled in schools across Germany. relevant...

Computational modeling and bilingualism have had until recently only limited interactions (see reviews in French & Jacquet, 2004; Hernandez, Li, & MacWhinney, 2005; Li & Farkas, 2002; Thomas & van Heuven, 2005). Bilingualism has been the norm rather than the exception in our globalized world, but the acquisition of two languages entails significant complexity that challenges empirical methodolo...

Much of what is known about the outcome of second language acquisition and bilingualism can be summarized in terms of inter-individual variability, plasticity and age. The present review looks at variability and plasticity with respect to their underlying sources, and at age as a modulating factor in variability and plasticity. In this context we consider critical period effects vs. bilingualis...
