This volume contributes to a better understanding of both psycho-
and sociolinguistic levels of multilingualism and their interplay
in development and use. The chapters stem from an international
group of specialists in multilingualism with chapters from Austria,
Canada, Germany, Hungary, Israel, Italy, Slovakia, South Africa,
Spain and the United States. The chapters provide an update on
research on third language acquisition and multilingualism, and pay
particular attention to new research concepts and the exploration
of contact phenomena such as transfer and language learning
strategies in diverse language contact scenarios. Concepts covered
include dominant language constellations, mother tongue,
germination factors and communicative competence in national
contexts. Multilingual use as described and applied in the volume
aims at demonstrating and identifying current and future challenges
for research on third language acquisition and multilingualism. The
third languages in focus include widely and less widely used
official, minority and migrant languages in instructed and/or
natural contexts, including Albanian, Arabic, Basque, English,
French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Romanian, Spanish, Punjabi,
Russian, Turkish, and Vietnamese, thereby mapping a high variety of
language constellations.
