Until recently, the history of debates about language and thought
has been a history of thinking of language in the singular. The
purpose of this volume is to reverse this trend and to begin
unlocking the mysteries surrounding thinking and speaking in bi-
and multilingual speakers. If languages influence the way we think,
what happens to those who speak more than one language? And if they
do not, how can we explain the difficulties second language
learners experience in mapping new words and structures onto
real-world referents? The contributors to this volume put forth a
novel approach to second language learning, presenting it as a
process that involves conceptual development and restructuring, and
not simply the mapping of new forms onto pre-existing meanings.
