The Multilingual Lexicon: Modelling Selection and Control
Kees de Bot

In this paper an overview of research on the multilingual lexicon is presented as the basis for a model for processing multiple languages. With respect to specific issues relating to the processing of more than two languages, it is suggested that there is no need to develop a specific model for such multilingual processing, but at the same time we are still very far from really understanding how languages interact within and between components of the model.

Keywords: PSYCHOLINGUISTIC MODELLING, MULTILINGUALISM, LEXICON
