Eminent global scholars from various disciplines synthesize and cross-fertilize current and past neural research about second language through systematic, in-depth, and timely chapters that discuss cores issues for understanding the neurocognition of second language learning, representation, and processing. Handbook sections provide overviews of extant and emerging neuroscience methods, syntheses of neurocognitive research on second language syntax, morphosyntax, lexicon, phonology, and pragmatics, and up-to-date descriptions of theoretical approaches of the neural basis of second language learning. The volume provides additional sections that synthesize research on a variety of topics including factors that affect the neurocognition of second language, the neural mechanisms underlying second language learning, individual differences in the neurocognition of second language, as well as research on understudied languages and populations, such as sign language, child second language learners, and individuals with aphasia.
This handbook will be an indispensable resource to scholars and students across a wide range of disciplines, including those interested in second language acquisition, applied linguistics, cognitive science, psychology, neuroscience, and research methodology. It should facilitate transformative connections between ideas and disciplines and lead to informative and productive paths for future research.

This volume is an invaluable, one-of-a-kind, one-stop resource for anyone interested in the neurobiological and neurocognitive bases of the acquisition of additional languages. The editors have made a titanic effort to include a wide range of methods, levels of linguistic analysis, languages, and populations, as motivated by cross-disciplinary perspectives.

This impressive handbook provides an authoritative in-depth overview of how cognitive neuroscience has expanded our understanding of how the brain supports the acquisition and processing of a second or third language. It is a highly recommended resource for students and scholars - and for anyone interested in how a bilingual brain works.
