An Introduction to Bilingualism provides a comprehensive review of
the most important aspects of individual and societal bilingualism,
examining both theoretcial and practical issues. At the level of
the individual, it addresses such questios as: What is involved in
the study of bilingual children? What are the patterns of bilingual
language acquisition? In which ways do the language competence and
the speech of bilinguals differ from those of monolinguals? Topics
that sometimes arouse controversy are explored - such as the
question of whether there is a relationship between bilingualsim
and a child's cognitive, psychological and social development. The
book is also concerned with multilingualism, that is, bilingualsim
as a societal phenomenon. It focuses on such issues as language
choice in bilingual and multilingual communities, national identity
and the education of bilinguals. The inclusion of several case
studies of European linguistic minorities serves to exemplify the
topics dealt with at the theoretical level and to illustrate the
linguistic complexities found in contemporary Europe.
