Lateralization in bilingualism refers to the tendency for bilingual individuals to use different areas of the brain for processing different languages. This means that different functions may be specialized in different brain regions depending on the language being used. For example, one language may be more dominant in the left hemisphere of the brain, while the other language may be more dominant in the right hemisphere. This phenomenon is observed in various brain regions, such as the frontal and temporal lobes, and is thought to occur as a result of the brain's adaptability to process and differentiate between multiple languages.
