内容説明

It is the policy of the "Longman Linguistics Library" series to cover all aspects of linguistics, descriptive and historical, theoretical and methodological. Some of its books serve as introductions to key aspects of the subject, others are more specialized. In all cases the books are self-contained: they are intended to treat important areas in general linguistics and to be of value for a number of years. "An Introduction to Bilingualism" aims to provide a comprehensive review of the most important aspects of individual and societal bilingualism and multilingual communities, national identity and the education of bilinguals. It assumes no prior knowledge of the subject and includes three detailed case studies. All specialist concepts and technical terms have been defined and it contains a variety of linuistic illustrations; mentions many languages; and has a distinct European orientation.

内容説明

An Introduction to Bilingualism provides a comprehensive review of the most important aspects of individual and societal bilingualism, examining both theoretcial and practical issues. At the level of the individual, it addresses such questios as: What is involved in the study of bilingual children? What are the patterns of bilingual language acquisition? In which ways do the language competence and the speech of bilinguals differ from those of monolinguals? Topics that sometimes arouse controversy are explored - such as the question of whether there is a relationship between bilingualsim and a child's cognitive, psychological and social development. The book is also concerned with multilingualism, that is, bilingualsim as a societal phenomenon. It focuses on such issues as language choice in bilingual and multilingual communities, national identity and the education of bilinguals. The inclusion of several case studies of European linguistic minorities serves to exemplify the topics dealt with at the theoretical level and to illustrate the linguistic complexities found in contemporary Europe.
