Abstract：
Bilingualism and multilingualism provide a unique lens for exploring how human experiences influence language and cognition. This editorial presents a collection of studies on the relationship between bilingualism/multilingualism and cognition in typically developing and neurodiverse populations. The articles assembled in this issue synthesize findings from diverse linguistic populations (e.g., second-language learners, heritage speakers, different-script bilinguals, etc.) and techniques (e.g., behavioral, magnetic resonance imaging, electroencephalography, eye-tracking, etc.) to provide compelling evidence that knowing more than one language can benefit learning, health, and social outcomes. Translational research on bilingualism and multilingualism is necessary for informing policy and can serve as a guide to researchers, practitioners, and educators who work with linguistically diverse populations, as well as individuals and parents who speak multiple languages. We conclude that multilingualism shapes cells, selves, and societies.
摘要：
双语和多种语言为探索人类经验如何影响语言和认知提供了独特的视角。这篇社论提供了一系列有关典型发展中和神经多样性人群的双语/多种语言与认知之间关系的研究。本期汇编的文章综合了来自不同语言群体的发现(例如，第二语言学习者,传统演讲者,不同脚本的双语者，等。)和技术(例如，行为，磁共振成像，脑电图,眼动追踪,等。)提供令人信服的证据，证明知道一种以上的语言可以有益于学习，健康,和社会结果。双语和多种语言的转化研究对于政策的告知是必要的，可以作为研究人员的指南，从业者,以及与语言多样化人群合作的教育工作者，以及讲多种语言的个人和父母。我们得出结论，多种语言塑造了细胞，自我,和社会。
