Countries in Africa, America, Asia and Europe provide the sociolinguistic contexts described in this volume.

With the focus on family, school and the wider community, the book illustrates personal, social, cultural and political factors contributing to the acquisition and maintenance of trilingualism and highlights a rich pattern of trilingual language use.
