Abstract

Modeling bilingualism as a dynamic phenomenon in healthy and neurologically affected speakers across the lifespan is an Open Commentary on the article: Li, P., & Xu, Q. (2022). Computational Modeling of Bilingual Language Learning: Current Models and Future Directions. Language Learning. This Commentary discusses the work by Li and Xu (2022) and expands their work to discuss how future computational models of bilingual language learning should include the following perspectives: language learning context, maintenance and decay of linguistic competence, and bilingual language breakdown. It also discusses how current modeling efforts address the desiderata for good computational models proposed by Li and Xu.
