This book studies the acquisition, loss and re-acquisition of
Spanish, English, Portuguese, and Hebrew, the first languages of
this writer's son. It applies the results of current work in the
areas of psycholinguistics, bilingualism, and applied linguistics
to the study of language development in one multilingual child,
Noam, from birth to age 17. The acquisition, loss, and
re-acquisition of four languages by Noam also is compared with that
of other children studied by the author and others. This book
uncovers linguistic, cognitive, psychological, and social
mechanisms of language acquisition, loss, and re-acquisition and
documents the child's increasing, decreasing, and, in turn,
increasing proficiency in four languages. This book applies Dromi's
guidelines for qualitative case-study research to the study of
language development in one multilingual child (Spanish,
Portuguese, Hebrew, English), Noam, from birth to age seventeen. In
addition, the results of Noam's case study are compared with other
case studies conducted by this author as well as by other
researchers.
