Abstract

It seems to be not only accepted, but also a vague consensus among linguists, that bilingual (multilingual) experience delays the onset of Alzheimer’s disease(AD). But is this really the case? As part of the foreign research teams began to say “NO” to this question, this debate across linguistics and medical science has gathered increasing attention recently. In this paper, the latest domestic and international research progress on this issue will be reviewed. And different points of view will also be clarified. According to the different findings of various researches, further scientific study is needed to this inconclusive issue that whether bilinguals overall develop AD later than monolinguals.
