The psycholinguistics of bilingualism - Introduction

This video is part of a lecture series on the psycholinguistics of bilingualism, based on a textbook with the same title by François Grosjean and Ping Li. This video presents the introductory chapter of the book and gives a general introduction to the series. Important concepts include the complementarity principle, language mode, and the bilingual lexicon.

Thank you Mr. Hilper for placing these videos for everybody to learn. I recently discover your videos. I look forward to taking advantage of all the information you present.

Dr. Hilpert, I've been watching your lectures on a daily basis for a long time now. As a linguist, I can't thank you enough for your contribution. You're mind-blowing!

I traveled driving from Riyadh to my mothers town at the end of the last week. It takes three and half an hour to go and the same to go back. For the first time, I do not get bored. Thaaaanks Prof. Martin

Hello Mr. Hilpert. I'm a Brazilian student working on my master degree. I have chosen a research trying to make a bridge between Psycholinguistics and Translation Theories on English/Brazilian Portuguese cognates. Your videos have been of great help. Thank you!

I live in Poland and I think that the percentage of bilingual speakers is much less than in the pie chart. Since WWII Poland has often been regarded as one of the most monolinguistic areas of Europe. That is changing with the arrival of many Ukrainians.

Speaking about yourself also provides a realistic and relatable example for this lesson which makes it more comprehensible.
Thanks for sharing. 💜

Perfect timing!!! I am about to start my psycholinguistics module in a week with a focus on bilingualism so this is absolutely perfect. Oh and thank you for helping me get through this degree, your videos have been invaluable

Thanks for your video, Dr. Hilpert. I am a postgraduate student in Chinese learning as a second language, and I am really interested in experimental methods of studies. I finished watching three episodes of the psycholinguistic series today. It is more interesting than a TV series to me, lol. Thanks again for your sharing, I do learn a lot from your videos.

Cher Martin, Merci beaucoup pour ce cours. Je suis Sud Africaine -Anglophone. Ici on a du appprendre des
l'age de environ 7 ans, l'Anglais et l"Afrikaans - langue de base Neerlandaise. En plus les Africains parlent
au moins 7 langues chacun parce que leurs langues ressemble d'une certain facon la relation entre le Francais et l'Italien. Nous avons onze langues officielles mais, pour la plupart on utilise ou l'Anglais ou l'Afrikaans.
J'adore les langues et j'ai aussi appris 'Italien, l'Espagnol et l'Allemand.
Vous parlez tres bien l'Anglais je voudrais dire, en effet couramment. Bravo et merci.

Ta for everything man!... It is an honor to listen to you. You're awesome!

Wow, you've come back! It's great to see you again, mister Hilpert!

A good analogy for language mode as you describe it would be that most people have two active hands, and though one may predominate in many situations, we can use the "other" should the need arise.

I like your videos a lot, thanks for making them available.
There is one point I wonder about. Bilinguals can code-switch very fast, that's true. But does this fact make them better at switching between tasks? I can code-switch very fast between three languages, but there are other languages where I can't. Let's say I very often use languages A, B and C with code-switching. I can also speak languages D and E. I might be able to code-switch from D to A, B or C, but it would take me much thinking and much time to code-switch between D and E because I almost never do it.

This video was very helpful for me as a student.

"thats a french baguette" OF COURSE !

9:55 Bilingual Poles consider themselves "bilingual" because they attended foreign language classes at schools. It's different from the bilingual Americans who are usually immigrants and speak other languages at home. Poland is a mono-ethnic country with one language used.

Thank you for your videos. They’re very helpful

[tiptap]

Could you point me to more resources on both languages being active during translation?
