Benefits of a Bilingual Brain


¹ Language ability is typically measured in two active parts, speaking and writing, and two passive parts, listening and reading. While a balanced bilingual has near equal abilities in two languages, most bilinguals around the world know and use their languages in varying proportions. But recent advances in brain imaging technology have given neurolinguists a glimpse into how specific aspects of language learning affect the bilingual brain. 


² It's well known that the brain's left hemisphere is more dominant and analytical in logical processes, while the right hemisphere is more active in emotional and social ones, though this is a matter of degree, not an absolute split. The fact that language involves both types of functions has led to the critical period hypothesis. According to this theory, children learn languages more easily because the plasticity of their developing brains lets them use both hemispheres in language acquisition, while in most adults, language is lateralized to one hemisphere, usually the left. If this is true, learning a language in childhood may give you a more holistic grasp of its social and emotional contexts. 


³ Conversely, recent research showed that people who learned a second language in adulthood exhibit less emotional bias and a more rational approach when confronting problems in the second language than in their native one. But regardless of when you acquire additional languages, being multilingual gives your brain some remarkable advantages, such as higher density of the grey matter that contains most of your brain's neurons and synapses, and more activity in certain regions when engaging a second language. The strong workout a bilingual brain receives throughout its life can also help delay the onset of diseases, like Alzheimer's and dementia by as much as five years.

“The teachers are afraid of their pupils”, by Morrisey


There's too many people

Planning your downfall

When your spirit's on trial

These nights can be frightening

Sleep transports sadness

To some other mid-brain

And somebody here

Will not be here next year

So you stand by the board

Full of fear and intention

And, if you think that they're listening

Well, you've got to be joking

Oh, you understand change

And you think it's essential

But when your profession

Is humiliation

Say the wrong word to our children

We'll have you, oh yes, we'll have you


Source: The teachers are afraid of their pupils, as sung by Morrisey, 1995. Available on: https://genius.com/Morrissey-the-teachers-are-afraid-of-the-pupils-lyrics

In an effort to attract younger Hispanic voters, campaigns are turning to Spanglish

¹ Mayra Alejandra Rodriguez is used to seamlessly toggling between Spanish and English in conversation. If she doesn’t know the Spanish version of a word, she’ll use the English, and vice versa. The mishmash, known as Spanglish, comes naturally. Those around her understand her, at least most of the time.

² The Silver Spring, Md., resident is the kind of young Hispanic voter attracting increasing attention from political operatives who advocate that campaigns use the blended language in advertising and other outreach as the 2024 election cycle accelerates.

³ The language — a portmanteau of English and Spanish that blends words, grammar and dialects from both tongues — is growing in popularity in the United States as the country’s Hispanic population grows. Currently, 19 percent of the U.S. population identifies as Hispanic, a new high according to the Pew Research Center, which also found that 63 percent of Hispanics in the United States speak Spanglish at least sometimes in their day-to-day life. Forty percent say they speak it often.

4 Operatives who are urging campaigns to reach young voters in Spanglish argue that its use not only reflects the nation’s changing demographics, but is also a way to meet voters with a lingo that feels more familiar and approachable.
