This book discusses cognitive and psycholinguistic aspects of third
language acquisition and trilingualism, and explores the key role
of linguistic awareness in multilingual proficiency and language
learning. In view of the widespread acquisition of English by those
who are already bilingual or are also acquiring a regional lingua
franca this study will contribute to the current discussion of
multilingualism with English in Europe and beyond, as well as the
understanding of multilingual speech processing. The author
supports a dynamic view of multilingualism by stressing the
cognitive advantages that the contact with more languages can offer
and uses this approach as the basis for future language teaching
and learning. Chapters cover topics such as performing in a third
language, metalinguistic awareness in multilinguals and in
multilingual education, and English as a third language in Europe.
Features: *The first study of the important role metalinguistic
awareness plays in multilingual proficiency *Includes a unique
comparison of both second and third language acquisition *Useful
for students and scholars of applied linguistics, language
education, language planning, psycholinguistics, cognitive
linguistics and the study of the English language.
