In this monograph, Anatoliy V. Kharkhurin presents the results of
his empirical investigation into the impact of multilingual
practice on an individual's creative potential. Until now, the
relationship between these two activities has received little
attention in the academic community. The book makes an attempt to
resuscitate this theme and provides a solid theoretical framework
supported by contemporary empirical research conducted in a variety
of geographic, linguistic, and sociocultural locations. This study
demonstrates that several factors - such as the multilinguals' age
of language acquisition, proficiency in these languages and
experience with cultural settings in which these languages were
acquired - have a positive impact on selective attention and
language mediated concept activation mechanisms. Together, these
facilitate generative and innovative capacities of creative
thinking. This book will be of great interest not only to scholars
in the fields of multilingualism and creativity, but also to
educators and all those interested in enhancing foreign language
learning and fostering creativity.
