description This paper starts with an approach to bilingualism concept, bringing in some definitions. To the author it is about a state that may be placed at a specific point within a continuum whose opposite poles are minimal bilingualism and ideal bilingualism, and he puts on the same level the bilingualization process with that of a translator performance. He considers this process as having five steps, going from an �etic� knowledge to an �emic� one, focusing on the �emic� internalization by means of checking theories and research reports related to the existence of one or two linguistic information processing storage places in bilinguals and considering as well a third and intermediate approach. He explains that from the mid 60s a reaction began against the poor and deficient image that had been the norm of picturing bilingual people and puts all together into three groups the criterion, hypothesis and explanations that have been used to defend the positive relationship between bilingualism and cognitive development, reviewing as well some representative studies. The author finishes stating his reservations to join the general euphoria about the cognitive manifestations of bilingualism, as he observes several limitations in such research work.
