B04: Bilingual processing ability as a predictor for language learning

PI(s): Clahsen, Harald, Prof. Dr. / Felser, Claudia, PD Dr.

This project investigates how inter-individual variability in bilingual language processing can predict learning outcomes in a newly learnt language. Our starting assumption is that successful language learning presupposes efficient processing of the linguistic input. By examining bilingual speakers in both of their languages, we will test the hypothesis that individual language processing profiles yield different outcomes in a person’s learning of a novel language.
