Abstract
Approximately half of the world’s population is bilingual or multilingual at some level of proficiency. Despite these numbers, there is little agreement among researchers concerning the cerebral representations and/or functions of multiple languages in any one individual. The reason for this lack of agreement is basically the dearth of systematically collected data available on both normal and brain-damaged multilingual language users (Paradis, 1987).
