• Oscillatory brain responses to processing code-switches in the presence of others 

      Tomic, Aleksandra; Kaan, Edith (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-06-07)
      Code-switching, i.e. the alternation between languages in a conversation, is a typical, yet socially-constrained practice in bilingual communities. For instance, code-switching is permissible only when other conversation partners are fluent in both languages. Studying code-switching provides insight in the cognitive and neural mechanisms underlying language control, and their modulation by ...

      Kaan, Edith; Kheder, Souad; Kreidler, Ann; Tomic, Aleksandra; Valdés Kroff, Jorge (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-06-26)
      Code-switching is highly socially constrained. For instance, code-switching is only felicitous when those present are fluent in both languages. This means that bilinguals need to dynamically adjust their language control and expectation of code-switching to the current social situation or context. The aim of the present EEG study was to investigate how and when language control in the comprehension ...
