Abstract:
Multiple Voices: An Introduction to Bilingualism provides a comprehensive overview of all major features of bilingualism, including grammatical, cognitive, and social aspects. It examines bilingualism as a socio-political phenomenon and emphasizes languages in contact, language maintenance and shift, language policy, and bilingual education. The book includes many detailed examples from all over the world.
This is written accessibly for students with little or no background in linguistics by a prominent bilingualism researcher.
