Abstract
This project investigated language production in bilingual speakers with aphasia post-stroke. Existing bilingual language theories are still underspecified despite a growing bilingual population. Three extensive picture naming studies across five language combinations were conducted using a case series design. Analysis considered individual speakers' accuracy, error patterns, heterogeneous language profiles, language breakdowns, and unique lexical variables for each language. The project’s furthered our understanding of bilingual word retrieval and produced bilingual assessment resources for five languages.
