Abstract	This special issue on language diversity and bilingual processing is based on papers presented at the "Exploratory Workshop on Speaking, Thinking and Gesturing in Two Languages," at the University of Reading, UK, in September 2012, sponsored by the European Science Foundation (IM/SCH/EW11-145). The workshop brought together a multidisciplinary team of researchers interested in exploring how language affects cognition both in terms of structuring information for the purpose of communication, and in terms of non-verbal categorization and perception of reality and the world. Research shows that the information speakers select to describe events and how they package that information is to some extent dependent on the language they speak. Because the research to date has largely focused on monolingual speakers, there is a gap in knowledge about the thinking processes of bilinguals and L2 learners. Thus, studying bilinguals allows tracing the developmental trajectory of language and cognition in the human mind, and thus gain important new insights into the correlation between linguistic and sociocultural variables on the one hand and cognitive categories on the other hand, which studies of monolinguals do not reveal (Athanasopoulos 2011).
