Abstract
Abstract The present chapter examines how the bilingual's knowledge of what language a particular word belongs to is represented in bilingual memory and how that knowledge could be used to facilitate bilingual language comprehension. Two basic hypotheses (the language tag and the language network hypotheses) are presented within the framework of bilingual versions of two different models of visual word recognition (serial search and interactive activation). It appears that the bilingual interactive activation model best accommodates some recent data on bilingual word recognition.
