The publication of Hugo Baetens Beardsmore's book Bilingualism:
Basic Principles by Multilingual Matters in 1982 coincided with an
unprecedented upsurge of interest in bilingualism. A major reason
for this was the acknowledgement that bilingualism is far more
common than was previously thought, and perhaps even the norm. The
number of bilinguals at the turn of the third millennium is
probably greater than ever before and will continue to grow as a
result of the combined forces of globalisation, automatisation,
increased mobility and migration, and modernisation of foreign
language teaching. The contributions in this book prove that, given
the right conditions, bilingualism can confer distinct benefits
like intellectual, psychological, social, cultural and economic
improvement on the individual. The papers in this volume have been
written by leading scholars in the field of bilingualism and deal
with individual bilingualism, societal and educational phenomena,
addressing issues such as bilingual usage, acquisition, teaching,
and language planning and policy. The volume's major asset lies in
its diversity, not only in depth of investigation and in topical
variety but also in the range of languages and geographical regions
covered. Another important feature of the volume is its
multidisciplinary perspective. Among the contributors are
linguists, sociologists, psychologists and sociolinguists.
