书籍简介

一位领先的神经心理学家对双语能力和人类大脑的研究

世界上超过一半的人口都是双语者，但我们中很少有人了解这种非凡而复杂的能力究竟是如何运作的。两种语言如何在同一个大脑共存？双语的优势和挑战是什么？我们如何学习和忘记一门语言？

在初项此类研究中，领先的专家 Albert Costa 分享了 20 年的语言科学探索经验。《双语大脑》通过研究加拿大、法国和韩国的研究和案例，探讨了双语能力对从婴儿期到老年期的日常生活的重大影响。它揭示了婴儿如何在出生后数小时内区分两种语言，口音如何影响我们看待他人的方式，甚至双语者为什么更善于解决冲突。

Costa 借鉴了他在巴塞罗那自己的实验室以及世界各地的中心和他自己的双语家庭的前沿神经语言学研究成果，对一项非凡技能的复杂性和影响进行了引人入胜的探讨。 《双语大脑》极具吸引力并且信息量巨大，它让我们对语言的运作方式充满了好奇。

The definitive study of bilingualism and the human brain from a leading neuropsychologist

Over half of the world's population is bilingual and yet few of us understand how this extraordinary, complex ability really works. How do two languages co-exist in the same brain? What are the advantages and challenges of being bilingual? How do we learn - and forget - a language?

In the first study of its kind, leading expert Albert Costa shares twenty years of experience to explore the science of language. Looking at studies and examples from Canada to France to South Korea, The Bilingual Brain investigates the significant impact of bilingualism on daily life from infancy to old age. It reveals, among other things, how babies differentiate between two languages just hours after birth, how accent affects the way in which we perceive others and even why bilinguals are better at conflict resolution.

Drawing on cutting-edge neuro-linguistic research from his own laboratory in Barcelona as well from centres across the world, and his own bilingual family, Costa offers an absorbing examination of the intricacies and impact of an extraordinary skill. Highly engaging and hugely informative,The Bilingual Brain leaves us all with a sense of wonder at how language works.
