Bilingual/Multilingual Advocacy: “To focus only on monolinguals when studying the human mind is a kin to how heart disease and diabetes were studied, exclusively on white men under the assumption, that the findings were applied to everyone. We now know that heart disease manifests differently in women than men, and that sugar is metabolized differently in the Indigenous populations of North and South America. People who speak more than one language or dialect, have different linguistic, cognitive, and neural architectures than people who speak only one language.” Marian, 2023, p 14 & 15 #ValentinasBookshelf
