ABSTRACT
The investigation into bilingualism has shown robustness since the Millennium, strongly associated with the integration of cognitive linguistics, psycholinguistics, theoretical linguistics, second language acquisition and bilingual education. In particular, the rise of bilingualism research from a perspective of executive functions in the past decade has become an integral part in observing the interplay between bilingualism and cognition. Researchers wishing to look at the effects of bilingualism on executive functions tend to describe various forms of being bilingual, identify idiosyncrasies of language processing in bilingualism and investigate different facets of executive function. In this respect, Sekerina et al.’s edited volume Bilingualism, Executive Function, and Beyond: Questions and Insights appears to be a timely and popular contribution pertaining to bilingual education and bilingualism, because it elucidates for readers a valuable collection of scholarly works which deals with both theoretical and practical issues central to bilinguals’ performance on executive functioning. Such an edited volume has offered bilingualism researchers a robust platform to share minds, and would appeal to a broad spectrum of audience.
