DESCRIPTION:Humans are born with the capacity to learn any language. Howev
 er\, exposure to native(s) languages modulates in an important way the und
 erlying processes. Such modulations can be observed already already in the
  first months of life and have lifelong consequences\, even in the case of
  significant exposure to other languages in childhood. In this talk I will
  review evidence on different aspects of cross-language phonological proce
 ssing.\n\nNuria Sebastian‐Galles is a Professor at the Universitat Pompe
 u Fabra in Spain. In 2016\, she was elected Corresponding Fellow of the Br
 itish Academy. She was Vice‐President of the Scientific Council of the E
 uropean Research Council until the end of 2016. Sebastian‐ Galles has au
 thored many peer‐reviewed articles on bilingualism\, early language deve
 lopment\, and speech perception in journals such as Science\, Proceedings 
 of the Nationab Academy of Sciences of the United States of America\, and
