title: Language lateralization in bilinguals: more not less is needed: a reply to Paradis (1990).
abstract: Paradis (1990) took an extremely pessimistic view of research to date looking at the lateralization of cerebral function in bilingual subjects. We, however, argue that some of his conclusions are, in fact, incorrect, while others speak more to the youth of the field. The problems in the latter body of work are now acknowledged and are being overcome. That the shortcomings are recognized seems to be more a case for satisfaction than of despair.
