Neurological implications and effects of bimodal bilingualism

The language process of bimodal bilinguals was the topic of the ERP study on bimodal language. ERP is an abbreviation for event-related potential. The study was conducted on October 15, 2021. The ERP is being used by the researchers to investigate the language controls in bimodal bilinguals. In their study, they used the ERP to track the language switch. During the study's production, the pattern was not apparent. ^[1]

Bilingual language mode: Contact signing

Deaf children and their parents communicated using several modalities, such as oral-aural and visual-gestural. The mixed use of ASL and spoken English in bilinguals is discussed in this article. It led to the contact signing. The author of the paper covered many contact sign approaches in complex layers of ASL and spoken English expressions. In the deaf community, contact signing is a common occurrence.^[2]
