Resumen
Our proposal is related to the issue of bilingualism in Gibraltar within the frame of two of the disciplines of Linguistics: Psycholinguistics and Neurolinguistics. Our aim is a better understanding of the mechanisms involved in the lexical processing of Spanish and English by bilinguals from Gibraltar as well as the study of the incidence of dyslexia among them. By means of Error Analysis, we intend to analyse the main spelling difficulties observed among bilingual teenagers in Gibraltar and design an alternative methodology for schools, tailored to the specific needs of the population in the area
