New paper alert: Speaking in dialects: How dialect words are represented and selected for production

Very excited to see my first joint venture with Eleanor Heggdal Lønes and Yuki Kamide out in press!! The review will appear in a 2023 volume of Psychology of Learning and Motivation with a special focus on language production, so be sure to check out the other articles as well as they become available, https://www.sciencedirect.com/bookseries/psychology-of-learning-and-motivation/chapters-in-press.

In our review article, which focusses on single word production, we ask whether bidialectalism should be viewed as a special case of bilingualism or whether this conceptualization is insufficient. The review covers a number of psycholinguistic methodologies including picture-word interference and language-switching paradigms, as well as sociolinguistic observations such as dialect leveling and style shifting. We also review evidence regarding strategic and automatic dialectal alignment processes. We conclude the review by proposing a new model of bidialectal production based on our findings and we suggest how to fill the gaps identified in the existing literature and theory.
