Description

Bilingualism provides a concise and lively introduction to bilingualism as a social and linguistic phenomenon. This book explains its impact on individuals and society, addressing questions such as what it means to be bilingual and how exposure to multiple languages affects cognitive development. The book covers the linguistic, sociolinguistic, and cognitive outcomes of bilingualism, including language acquisition, language-mixing, and the link between language choice and identity. It also provides up-to-date overviews of prominent concerns and facts about bilingualism, along with activities and discussion questions to consider one's own perspectives on bilingualism. For those new to studying bilingualism, this book is a valuable resource, offering links to relevant videos and suggested further reading, including novels, short stories, and essays.
