DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Scholars of the neurolinguistics of bilingualism have debated about the degree to which the first and second languages of bilingual individuals are subserved by shared or separate neural networks, and the extent to which the two languages are active during processing in one. Examining the relations between language treatment and language improvement in the treated and non-treated languages of bilingual individuals with aphasia can help determine the degree of language independence and interdependence in bilinguals. In this proposed study, constrained language treatment will be administered to monolingual and bilingual individuals with chronic aphasia to examine the efficacy of language treatment and treatment transfer from one language to another. The study will allow us to assess which language components demonstrate transfer of treatment benefits from the treated language to the non-treated language, which will, in turn, allow us to determine separate and shared language components of two languages in the bilingual brain. In addition, the study will produce evidence for the efficacy of constrained language treatment in monolingual and bilingual aphasia.

描述（申请人提供）：双语主义神经语言学的学者就双语个体的第一和第二语言通过共享或单独的神经网络以及两种语言在处理过程中活跃的程度进行了争论。检查语言治疗与语言改善的关系在患有失语症的双语者和未经处理的语言中，可以帮助确定双语者的语言独立性和相互依存的程度。在这项拟议的研究中，将对具有慢性失语症的单语和双语个体进行受限的语言治疗，以检查语言治疗和治疗从一种语言到另一种语言的疗效。这项研究将使我们能够评估哪种语言组成部分表明治疗益处从治疗语言转移到未处理的语言中，这将允许我们确定双语大脑中两种语言的单独和共享语言组成部分。此外，这项研究将为有限语言治疗在单语和双语失语症中的有效性提供证据。
