This review focuses on bilingual language control in oral language production, synthesizing key methodologies, theoretical frameworks, and its relationship with domain-general cognitive control. Although behavioral and neural studies have advanced understanding of the mechanisms involved, greater integration across approaches and the use of more ecologically valid methods remain necessary. Much of the current research emphasizes reactive control; however, exploring its interplay with proactive control may offer deeper insights into the dynamic nature of bilingual language control. In addition, future studies should move beyond the lexicon to explore higher linguistic levels and account for the diversity of bilingual experiences within broader theoretical frameworks, such as the bilingual framework proposed in this review. This would allow theoretical models to be enriched with a more comprehensive perspective.
本综述聚焦于口语产出中的双语语言控制，综合了关键方法、理论框架及其与领域通用认知控制的关系。尽管行为研究和神经研究增进了对相关机制的理解，但跨方法的更大整合以及使用更具生态效度的方法仍很有必要。当前的许多研究强调反应性控制；然而，探究其与主动性控制的相互作用可能会更深入地洞察双语语言控制的动态本质。此外，未来的研究应超越词汇层面，探索更高的语言层次，并在更广泛的理论框架（如本综述中提出的双语框架）内考虑双语经历的多样性。这将使理论模型能从更全面的视角得到丰富。
