With contributions from leading scholars of bilingualism, Language
Dominance in Bilinguals is the first publication to survey
different approaches to language dominance, along with suggested
avenues for further research. It illustrates how a critical
approach to the notion of language dominance, as well as its
operationalization and measurement, can provide new insights into
this burgeoning area of research. Drawing on adult and child data
from a variety of language pairs, the chapters discuss how language
dominance is to be conceptualized and distinguished from such
related constructs as language proficiency and language competence.
This volume is the first of its kind to present an overview of
different approaches to language dominance from across the
theoretical spectrum, as well as suggested avenues for further
research. Accessibly written, Language Dominance in Bilinguals is a
valuable new addition to the field and essential reading for
students and scholars working in bilingualism, speech therapy and
education.
