Language Learning, 58 suppl. Abstract Time is a fundamental aspect of human cognition and action. All languages have developed rich means to express various facets of time, such as bare time spans, their position on the time line, or their duration. The articles in this volume give an overview of what we know about the neural and cognitive representations of time that speakers can draw on in language. Starting with an overview of the main devices used to encode time in natural language, such as lexical elements, tense and aspect, the research presented in this volume addresses the relationship between temporal language, culture, and thought, the relationship between verb aspect and mental simulations of events, the development of temporal concepts, time perception, the storage and retrieval of temporal information in autobiographical memory, and neural correlates of tense processing and sequence planning.
The psychological and neurobiological findings presented here will provide important insights to inform and extend current studies of time in language and in language acquisition.

A meta-analysis of hemodynamic studies on first and second language processing: Which suggested differences can we trust and what do they mean?
Language Learning, 56 suppl. Abstract This article presents the results of a meta-analysis of 30 hemodynamic experiments comparing first language L1 and second language L2 processing in a range of tasks. The results suggest that reliably stronger activation during L2 processing is found a only for task-specific subgroups of L2 speakers and b within some, but not all regions that are also typically activated in native language processing.
A tentative interpretation based on the functional roles of frontal and temporal regions is suggested. Abstract This volume is a harvest of articles from the first conference in a series on the cognitive neuroscience of language.
