Eleven international academics contribute nine chapters showcasing interdisciplinary approaches to the study of the bilingual lexicon. The text includes detailed, step-by-step introductions to various methodological approaches, from traditional neurocognitive and psycholinguistic to more recent methodologies that examine language in context. Among the topics explored are how words are organized in the bilingual mind, how they are linked to concepts, and how bi- and multilingual individuals process words in their multiple languages.
