Samenvatting

This fMRI study aims to compare simultaneous- and sequential Dutch-French
bilinguals with respect to their dominant language. Although simultaneous
bilinguals have acquired two languages from birth, it is assumed that one of both is
more dominant. Three language tasks (a verbal fluency task, a grammatical
judgement task and a semantic categorization task) are utilized to indicate the
differences between both groups, as well as within each group (i.e. Dutch versus
French). Significant differences in favor of the dominant language hypothesis were
found for Dutch versus French in simultaneous bilinguals for GJT-Dutch (p =
0.042), SCT-accuracy (p = 0.012) and reaction times (p = 0.004).
