Abstract
⺠Cortical activations during lexical decision tasks were compared between late proficient bilinguals and monolinguals. ⺠Bilinguals showed weaker language lateralisation during L2 (English) than monolinguals. ⺠Bilinguals recruited additional brain areas for both native and L2 languages, possibly as a result of greater cortical effort. ⺠Age of L2 acquisition was the main determinant of language representation in bilinguals.
