Abstract:

Research into the complex phenomenon of multilingualism is rapidly 
increasing. This book looks at multilingualism through its interfaces with 
language policies, language attitudes and issues of language awareness and 
identity. The aim is to examine the dynamic processes that lead or hinder the 
development of such phenomena. One of the scopes of the volume is to 
represent the complexity of the multilingual speaker by shedding light on 
different multilingual settings in the world. The chapters of this volume tackle 
the topic from a sociolinguistic perspective by showing how multilingualism is 
dynamically constructed. They provide empirical research on language 
learning in different multilingual environments in the world as well as practical 
suggestions for the investigation of multilingualism and the improvement of 
its education.
