| Description | In my presentation I discussed the topic of homogeneity within groups of plurilingual speakers in the light of hard science - neurolinguistics. I borrowed the term “linguistic utopia” from Piccardo (2016) who discusses the idea of homogeneous linguistic communities. I would like to offer an overview of what neurolinguistics studies have found out about how plurilingual or multilingual speakers' minds work so far and what factors are relevant in particular within multiple language acquisition and to what an extent do the neurolinguistic studies actually work with the term plurilingualism and plurilingual mind. |
