Bilingual Semantic Development

Bilingual Semantic Development is a theoretical construct within the field of psycholinguistics that specifies the dynamic and interactive processes through which two linguistic systems acquire and organize meaning in relation to conceptual representations, distinguishing it from monolingual semantic development by emphasizing cross-linguistic influence, code-specific conceptual activation, and dual-language lexical-conceptual interconnections.
