Abstract

Conceiving multilingualism as an example of intercultural dilemma, whose characteristics can be better understood from an interdisciplinary view, this paper aims to present examples of studies conducted at LABICO/UFRGS, in which the different areas of Linguistics as well as several other knowledge domains are put together and interact. In particular, studies focusing on bilingual lexical access, bilingual speech production and perception and production of foreign language sounds are discussed in order to demonstrate the way an interdisciplinary perspective can broaden the comprehension of the complex process of multilingual language acquisition and use, shedding light on definitions, theories and methods that help elucidate this complex phenomenon.
