Linguistics, Neuroscience of multilingualism, Cognitive psychology, Cognition and First language are among the topics commonly tackled in the journal. Language acquisition, Second-language acquisition, Grammar, Language transfer and Vocabulary are Linguistics topics of special interest in Bilingualism: Language and Cognition. It explores research in Second-language acquisition and the adjacent study of Developmental linguistics.
The in-depth study on Grammar also explores topics in the intersecting field of Syntax. It addresses concerns in Neuroscience of multilingualism which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Control (linguistics), German, Developmental psychology, Language proficiency and Task analysis. Cognitive psychology research featured in it incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Context (language use), Working memory, Second language, Executive functions and Priming (psychology).
The journal papers tackle a plethora of topics, such as Linguistics, Neuroscience of multilingualism, Cognitive psychology, Cognition and Language acquisition. The journal papers explore issues in Neuroscience of multilingualism which can be linked to other research areas like Control (linguistics), Developmental psychology, Language proficiency, Task analysis and Phonology. The journal articles focus on Language acquisition but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Noun and Vocabulary.
Bilingualism: Language and Cognition covers a variety of subjects, including Cognitive psychology, Linguistics, Neuroscience of multilingualism, Cognition and Second language. Some problems in Cognitive psychology that were presented in it overlapped with concepts under Context (language use), Control (linguistics), Reading (process), Language Experience Approach and Executive functions. As a part of Bilingualism: Language and Cognition, discussions in Linguistics involve topics like Verb, Lexical representation, Tone (linguistics), Phrase and Heritage language.
Aside from discussions in Neuroscience of multilingualism, the journal also deals with the subject of Developmental psychology which intersects with Second-language acquisition disciplines. While the primary focus in it is Cognition, it also dissects topics surrounding Language acquisition and Cognitive science as a whole. The study of Second language encompasses disciplines such as First language, as well as fields such as Working memory and Speech perception, all of which overlap with one another.
A key indicator for each journal is its effectiveness in reaching other researchers with the papers published at that venue.
The chart below presents the interquartile range (first quartile 25%, median 50% and third quartile 75%) of the number of citations of articles over time.
The top authors publishing in Bilingualism: Language and Cognition (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top authors publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top authors.
Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered
The top affiliations publishing in Bilingualism: Language and Cognition (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top affiliations publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top affiliations.
The publication chance index shows the ratio of articles published by the best research institutions in the journal edition to all articles published within that journal. The best research institutions were selected based on the largest number of articles published during all editions of the journal.
The chart below presents the percentage ratio of articles from top institutions (based on their ranking of total papers).Top affiliations were grouped by their rank into the following tiers: top 1-10, top 11-20, top 21-50, and top 51+. Only articles with a recognized affiliation are considered.
During the most recent 2021 edition, 44.04% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 27.87% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 13.11% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 19.67% of all publications and 39.34% were from other institutions.
A very common phenomenon observed among researchers publishing scientific articles is the intentional selection of journals they have already attended in the past. In particular, it is worth analyzing the case when the authors participate in the same journal from year to year.
The Returning Authors Index presented below illustrates the ratio of authors who participated in both a given as well as the previous edition of the journal in relation to all participants in a given year.
The graph below shows the Returning Institution Index, illustrating the ratio of institutions that participated in both a given and the previous edition of the conference in relation to all affiliations present in a given year.
Our experience to innovation index was created to show a cross-section of the experience level of authors publishing in a journal. The index includes the authors publishing at the last edition of a journal, grouped by total number of publications throughout their academic career (P) and the total number of citations of these publications ever received (C).
The group intervals were selected empirically to best show the diversity of the authors' experiences, their labels were selected as a convenience, not as judgment. The authors were divided into the following groups:
The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.
An important aspect indirectly related to the field of bilingualism and cognition studies is the intersection of language and interaction within familial and marital contexts. Focusing on this intersection allows to develop a more comprehensive understanding of how the acquisition of a second language impacts not just their cognitive abilities, but also their interpersonal relationships, particularly within marriage and family setups. Understanding these effects is crucial, especially for professionals like Marriage and Family therapists who need to understand the nuances of communication, linguistic influences, and emotional exchanges within a family or a couple setting. These professionals commonly encounter instances where linguistic differences and first and second language use heavily influence the dynamics of familial and personal relations. Considering the importance of the subject matter, it also becomes crucial for such professionals to be adequately trained and educated in these areas. For example, those seeking to become qualified Marriage and Family therapists in areas with bilingual demographics, like Illinois, need a thorough knowledge of this intersection. For those interested, the detailed Marriage counseling education requirements in Illinois provide a comprehensive overview of the necessary training, skills, and understanding needed. By integrating concepts from bilingualism and language cognition studies, aspiring therapists can ensure a comprehensive approach to therapy and treatment. In this way, the research conducted in the field of bilingualism and language cognition can extend its relevance and utility beyond academic spaces and inform real-life practices, contributing to healthier and happier multicultural families all around.
