Few models of bilingual language processing and language acquisition have taken into account language mode as of yet. For example, De Bot's 1992 classic model of bilingual language production does not give a clear account of how language choice takes place (i.e., how the base language is chosen), how the language mode is set, and the impact it has on processing. Similarly, in the bilingual interactive activation (BIA) model (Dijkstra & van Heuven, 1998) one language is normally deactivated during the word‐recognition process by means of top‐down inhibition from the other language node and lateral inter‐language word‐level inhibition. This will produce satisfactory results for word recognition in the monolingual mode but it will be less than optimal when mixed language is being perceived. In the latter case, it would be better if both languages were active with one more active than the other. To our knowledge, the only computational model of word recognition that simulates language mode is the Léwy and Grosjean BIMOLA model (see Grosjean, 2008). Both the base‐language setting (a discrete value) and the language‐mode setting (a continuous value) can be set prior to simulation in this model.
