This book explores the life and experiences of one of the world's
most renowned and well-respected experts in bilingualism. Francois
Grosjean takes us through his life, from his monolingual childhood
in a small village outside Paris to the long periods of time he
spent in Switzerland, England, France, and the United States,
becoming bilingual and bicultural in the process. During his life,
his dominant language has changed many times between English and
French, and he has also acquired, and subsequently lost, other
languages, including American Sign Language. Throughout the book,
he combines his personal accounts and anecdotes with insights from
and reflections on his extensive scholarly research in bilingualism
and biculturalism, which has, in turn, been heavily influenced by
his own experiences. Written in an engaging and accessible style,
the book will appeal to general readers interested in bilingualism
and language contact, educators and parents of bilingual children,
researchers working on bilingualism, and to bilinguals themselves.
