“Fundamental breakthroughs in the neurosciences,
combined with technical innovations for measuring
brain activity, are shedding new light on the neural
basis of second language (L2) processing, and
on its relationship to native language processing
(L1). The long-held assumption that L1 and L2 are
necessarily represented in different brain regions in
bilinguals has not been confirmed. On the contrary,
the available evidence indicates that L1 and L2 are
processed by the same neural devices. The neural
differences in L1 and L2 representations are only
related to the specific computational demands, which
vary according to the age of acquisition, the degree of
mastery and the level of exposure to each language.
Finally, the acquisition of L2 could be considered
as a dynamic process, requiring additional neural
resources in specific circumstances.”
