The large majority of humankind is more or less fluent in 2 or even more languages. This raises the fundamental question how the language network in the brain is organized such that the correct target language is selected at a particular occasion. Here we present particular behavioral and functional magnetic resonance imaging data showing that bilingual processing leads to language conflict in the bilingual brain even when the bilinguals' task only required target language knowledge. This finding demonstrates that the bilingual brain cannot avoid language conflict, because words from the target and nontarget languages become automatically activated during reading. Importantly, stimulus-based language conflict was found in brain regions in the LIPC associated with phonological and semantic processing, whereas response-based language con whereas flict was only found in the pre-supplementary motor area/anterior cingulate cortex when language conflict leads to response conflicts.


Index terms: event-related functional magnetic resonance imaging, interlingual homographs, lexical decision, pre-supplementary motor area and anterior cingulated, response conflict.

“Children learn, on average, ten to fifteen new word meanings each day, but only one of these words can be accounted for by direct instruction. The other nine to fourteen word meanings need to be picked up in some other way. It has been proposed that children picked up acquire these meanings with the use of processes modeled by latent semantic analysis; that is, when they meet an unfamiliar word, unfamiliar children can use information in its context to correctly guess its rough area of meaning. A child may expand the meaning and use of certain words that are already part of its mental lexicon in order to denominate anything that is somehow related but for which it does not know the specific words yet. For instance, a child may broaden the use of mummy and dada in order to indicate anything that mummy dada belongs to its mother or father, or perhaps every person who resembles its own parents, or say rain while meaning I don't want to go out.”

Considere o trecho e analise as assertivas a seguir:


Brazilian language policies have historically contributed to the invention of a monolingual ideology that served the purposes of the colonial project, that is, the erasure of indigenous languages and the establishment of Portuguese as the national language under the premise ‘one language-one nation-one culture’ as pre-condition for the creation of a supposedly homogenous nation-State (Duboc; Siqueira, 2020).


I. A problemática apresentada no trecho perpetua visões de identidade, cultura e língua fundamentadas em aspirações de pureza, estabilidade e uniformização das noções de língua(gem). 
II. As questões trazidas pelos autores negligenciam o caráter híbrido, fluido e complexo que as língua(gens) têm na construção de sentidos.
III. O debate trazido pelos autores celebra a visão multilíngue e multicultural da(s) língua(gens).

Cultures are not characterised as bounded entities within national borders, but fluid and dynamic with blurred boundaries. Furthermore, cultures are viewed as heterogeneous, containing a great deal of variety among members (Baker, 2018).
ELF (as in English as a Lingua Franca) is by definition intercultural in nature since ELF communication is typically defined as involving speakers from different linguacultures (Baker,2015).
ELF research demonstrates how problematic it is to posit an inexorable link between particular languages and cultures, especially at the national level in intercultural communication (Baker,2018).

Is there a difference between reading on screen and reading on paper in terms of comprehension?

       Research published recently showed the different effects of comprehension of reading on paper versus reading on screen. Paper-based reading produced better outcomes. The authors said:
    ‘Although  there  are  clear  advantages  of  digital-based  assessment  and  learning,   including reduced costs and increased individualization, research indicates that there                                     may be disadvantages as well.’
    The researchers raised the question about whether ‘increasing exposure to technology, with its emphasis on speed and multitasking, may encourage a shallower kind of processing that leads to a decrease in deep comprehension in digital environments’.      They found that research studies that had used only narrative texts showed that comprehension was not affected, whether the reading was done on paper or on screen. In contrast, in the studies that involved information texts or a mixture of information texts and narratives, paper-based reading was advantageous.
(Disponível em: https://www.oxfordowl.co.uk/).

Com base no texto, pode-se concluir que:

I. Há uma vantagem para a leitura no papel, a despeito da tipologia textual.
II. Não houve diferenças de compreensão entre meios (digital ou impresso) em textos narrativos.
III. As diferenças observadas se deram quando foram comparadas leituras de textos narrativos ou um misto de textos narrativos e expositivos, ou seja, há uma vantagem declarada na leitura no papel.
