Humans are born with the capacity to learn any language. However, exposure to native(s) languages modulates in an important way the underlying 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 processing.
