Bilingual language behaviour is driven by numerous factors that are usually studied in isolation, even though individual factors never operate alone. Bringing together key insights from psycholinguistics and sociolinguistics, Luna Filipović presents a new model of bilingual language processing that captures bilingualism within and across minds. The model enables readers to explain traditional puzzles in the field, and accounts for some apparently contradictory reports in different studies. It shows how theory can be applied in practice and how practice feeds back into theory, with mutual benefits. Bilinguals are studied in action, when they interact with other bilinguals or monolinguals, when they recall witnessed events in real life and in the lab and when they translate and interpret for the benefit of monolinguals. This interdisciplinary take on bilingualism in action will lead to new research on bilingualism itself, and to applications in forensic linguistics and translation studies.

Ama. Madre en euskera, o quizá la tercera persona del presente del verbo amar. Pero también las memorias de un joven abogado que descubre que la literatura ni siquiera puede embellecer las miserias de la vida -la precariedad, el desamor, o el duelo-.Nuestros padres nos mandaban a un colegio concertado, y después a una universidad privada sin saber muy bien por qué. Nos ponían en manos de brujos que conocían los secretos del éxito. Un máster: la palabra mágica de los chamanes. De esta forma, confiando en una alquimia que no conocían, ahorraban durante sus vidas, desgastaban sus rodillas, sus nudillos, sus zapatos, y nos martilleaban siempre con la misma frase: que no íbamos a heredar nada salvo los estudios que nos pagaban.El título de este libro alude a la voz euskera que significa madre, y también a la tercera persona del presente del verbo amar, y es justamente en esa intersección donde José Ignacio Carnero despliega una narración elegante y llena de belleza alred
