This study investigated cerebral asymmetries in polyglot students learning multiple languages. Findings suggest language processing involves distinct brain lateralization patterns, with L1 showing greater interference than L2 and L3.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Psycholinguistics
  • Cognitive Science

Background:

  • Understanding cerebral asymmetries is crucial for language acquisition research.
  • Polyglot language processing and its neural underpinnings remain an active area of investigation.
  • Previous studies have explored language lateralization, but comprehensive analysis across multiple languages is limited.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine cerebral asymmetries in processing first language (L1), second language (L2), and third language (L3) in polyglot students.
  • To compare verbal-manual interference across different language proficiencies.
  • To investigate the impact of interpretation modes on neural processing.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a verbal-manual interference paradigm with right-handed polyglot and monolingual female students.

  • Assessed automatic speech production and simultaneous interpretation tasks.
  • Measured cerebral lateralization and disruption rates during language processing.

    • Main Results:

    • No significant cerebral lateralization for L1 in either group; weak left hemispheric lateralization for L2 in polyglots.
    • Interpreting students showed no significant lateralization for L3.
    • Significantly higher verbal-manual interference for L1 compared to L2 and L3.
    • Meaning-based simultaneous interpretation exhibited higher disruption rates than word-for-word interpretation.

    Conclusions:

    • Language processing in polyglots shows differential cerebral lateralization depending on language proficiency.
    • L1 processing appears more susceptible to interference, suggesting distinct neural pathways.
    • Simultaneous interpretation modes significantly influence cognitive load and processing efficiency.
