Bilingualism, sleep, and cognition: An integrative view and open research questions
Brain and Language. 2025. Vol. 260. Article 105507.
Sleep and language are fundamental to human existence and have both been shown to substantially affect cognitive functioning including memory, attentional performance, and cognitive control. Surprisingly, there is little-to-no research that examines the shared impact of bilingualism and sleep on cognitive functions. In this paper, we provide a general overview of existing research on the interplay between bilingualism and sleep with a specific focus on executive functioning. First, we highlight their interconnections and the resulting implications for cognitive performance. Second, we emphasize the need to explore how bilingualism and sleep intersect at cognitive and neural levels, offering insights into potential ways of studying the interplay between sleep, language learning, and bilingual language use. Finally, we suggest that understanding these relationships could enhance our knowledge of reserve and its role in mitigating age-related cognitive decline.

The current exploratory study aims to reveal identity gaps and interpersonal communication strategies used by Russians to overcome social identity crises. Based on previous research, we assume that many Russians who live both in Russia and abroad face ethnic and national identity threats and experience different social identity crises due to recent geopolitical events.

Formulaic language may help language learners in second language (L2) acquisition. However, interference with the first language (L1) can also cause errors in L2 production. The present paper explores the possibilities of detecting L1 Russian interference errors connected with phraseologisms in English learner texts with a fine-tuned Transformer-based neural network. Across a dataset of 3,600 ...

Musical training has a significant impact on brain organization, leading to functional and structural
adaptations that enhance auditory, visual, motor, and cognitive processes. This study investigates how
extensive musical training shapes functional brain connectivity by comparing professional musicians and
non-musicians. Using EEG phase-locking value (PLV) analysis, we examined neural synchronization across
alpha, beta, and gamma frequency ranges during music ...

This article investigates the semantic field of ‘change’ in Persian from a lexical-typological perspective, applying the frame-based approach of the Moscow Lexical Typology Group. The study examines over 20 verbs related to this field, relying on data from dictionaries, corpora, and native speaker elicitation. In Persian, this semantic zone is primarily serviced by compound verbs. Our analysis reveals that the ...

Abstract
Context and relevance. In the context of accelerated urbanization and a growing disconnect from the natural
environment, there is increasing interest in biophilic attitudes — a system of stable views, beliefs, and
evaluations that reflect a person’s relationship with living nature and shape their psychological well-being and
environmentally responsible behavior. Existing tools for their measurement, such as the ...

The article demonstrates that Mandelstam's poem, "There are orioles in the
woods, and the length of vowels..." reveals an internal connection with
Khlebnikov's poem “О, dostoevskiymo running cloud!": one of the latter's key
images "shines through" the text of the former. Drawing on Mandelstam's
definitions that describe the reading process, the author reveals how this
connection might have arisen, whether ...

Bilinguals' language‐switching ability is regulated by language control mechanisms associated with executive control system. Cognitive flexibility (CF), one of the executive functions, is closely linked to language switching. Existing functional magnetic resonance imaging data demonstrate diverse patterns of neural activity elicited in language‐switching and CF tasks, and the degree of overlap between the respective brain ...

There is a need for empirical indicators that can monitor subtle changes in wakefulness levels with high temporal resolution. We aimed to assess the applicability in this regard of several indices based on the average spectral power of EEG rhythms, as well as the BIS index used in anesthesiology. 26 volunteers participated in an experiment involving forced awakenings ...
