ABSTRACT
In summary, the Language Mode Hypothesis and the Inhibitory Control Model both address the way that a bilingual’s two languages interact. Two main issues 19concern the extent to which the first language must be inhibited to allow production in the second language, and the extent to which a bilingual’s language mode can be influenced by top-down versus bottom-up factors. Subsequent chapters focus on word recognition and production models that address these questions in more specific detail.
