Excellent- More about The Adaptive Bilingual Mind: Insights from Endangered Languages
Evangelia Adamou's book explores bilingual cognition by integrating advances in bilingualism with the study of endangered languages, demonstrating how experimental psycholinguistic methods can be applied outside the lab and how data from understudied populations provide new insights into the adaptive capacities of the bilingual mind.

At present, a significant portion of research on bilingual cognition revolves around late second language learners acquiring a limited number of languages. However, in this captivating book, Evangelia Adamou expands the scope of inquiry by seamlessly integrating advancements in bilingualism with the study of endangered languages. By drawing upon recent studies from Europe and Latin America, Adamou showcases the potential of experimental psycholinguistic methods to be applied beyond the confines of the laboratory setting, while also highlighting how data from these understudied populations offer novel insights into the remarkable adaptive capabilities of the bilingual mind.
Adamou delves into the intricate ways in which bilinguals navigate competing conceptualizations of time and space, how their grammars and language mixing patterns adapt to cognitive constraints like the demand for simplification, and how language processing seamlessly accommodates their intricate bilingual experience. Through a combination of statistical analyses and comprehensive linguistic and ethnographic information, this essential book appeals to scholars engaged in the study of bilingualism, cognitive sciences, language endangerment, and language contact.
