What is it about?
The representations of (and the relationships between) the first (L1) and second (L2) language are studied in a very simple paradigm. When one of the languages is used in isolation, the mechanisms involved in reading are quite similar. When both languages are tested, L1 is more left lateralized.

Why is it important?
This study shows that there are contexts in which the representations of languages (or the executive mechanisms involved in their control) differ significantly.
Perspectives
Yet another tiny project that ended with very interesting findings.
