Bilingual Aphasia

Dear Colleagues,

Research in the field of bilingualism is growing in many areas, ranging from linguistic issues with processing two languages to its non-linguistic collateral effects. However, the number of studies with brain-damaged bilingual patients remains low, and there is a special need for such evidence in order to foster evidence-based clinical practices in the context of language disorders. This need is strongly motivated by the fact that, in the future, the number of people who speak a second language will increase and, at the same time, the risk of age-related disorders will increase as a consequence of a longer life expectancy.

This Special Issue provides an opportunity to report studies that aim to identify current issues in bilingual aphasia (following a stroke or neurodegeneration) regarding a range of topics, including assessment of the two languages, cross-language interactions of deficits, clinical outcomes, and non-linguistic deficits in bilingual patients with aphasia.
