Advances in the Study of Bilingualism

Reviews / Votes

The many facets of bilingualism are explored in this book with unprecedented breadth and depth. Through the prism of multidisciplinary research the volume paints a vivid picture of bilingualism throughout the lifespan. This is an outstanding state-of-the-art contribution to our knowledge of the field in the 21st century. -- Ludovica Serratrice, The University of Manchester, UK This volume succeeds in combining breadth and depth in an impressive manner. It covers many of the most discussed topics in the study of bilingualism - from the neuroscience of two grammars in bilinguals over code-switching and cross-linguistic influence to bilingual schooling - and still does not back away from the theoretical and analytical complexities of each of the themes. The editors have put together an up-to-date and important book that will find a wide audience. -- Kenneth Hyltenstam, Stockholm University, Sweden Overall, this volume is a magnificent contribution to the study of bilingualism. Indeed, the authors and editors have stimulated thought on theoretical and empirical research, especially toward future research on language pairs other than Welsh and English. It should be clear that this book represents an important contribution to the understanding of bilingualism, and will serve as an invaluable resource for researchers and practitioners alike. -- Tyler K.
