Neurolinguistics is the study of the neural mechanisms in the human brain that control the comprehension and production of language. It also deals with neurological correlates of language acquisition and language loss. Neurolinguistic research is traditionally based on data from populations with impaired language in order to identify the nature of human language. To this end, the field of aphasiology has made a major contribution towards attainment of empirical knowledge as it has provided linguistic characterization of various types of aphasic syndromes in monolingual and bilingual individuals. With the advent of neuroimaging techniques, neurolinguists can now obtain language processing data from healthy individuals to answer more advanced questions about language in the brain. The neurolinguistic aspects of second language (L2) acquisition have been examined for decades to identify two central issues: the cerebral representation of language in monolinguals and bilinguals, and neur...

This review delves into Mahootian’s (2020) comprehensive textbook on bilingualism. The text is praised for its systematic exploration of the topic, addressing various facets of bilingualism across five distinct chapters, culminating in a final chapter that ties together and reiterates the main points from each prior section. Particularly lauded is the author’s emphasis on the future of research in the fields of psycholinguistics and neurolinguistics. Mahootian’s exceptional integration of complex theories, paired with her accessible writing style, marks the textbook as a valuable resource for the academic community.
