This video is part of a lecture series on the psycholinguistics of bilingualism, based on a textbook with the same title by François Grosjean and Ping Li. This video presents the seventh chapter of the book. The chapter discusses three issues that are central to the process of successive language acquisition. First, it explores the role of age and the critical period hypothesis. The second topic is the acquisition of the phonemic inventory of the second language. Lastly, it discusses transfer effects from the second language back into the first language.
