Recent years have seen increasing research into bimodal bilingualism from a variety of paradigms such as bilingual acquisition, language processing, neural systems, and cognitive skills, with the underlying assumption that successful bimodal bilingualism entails the knowledge representations and processing of two grammars each of which via a distinct modality, auditory-oral versus visual-gestural. As such, it opens up an arena of cutting-edge research enabling comparisons of the linguistic and cognitive effects of monolingualism versus bilingualism, as well as unimodal bilingualism versus bimodal bilingualism.
