Abstract:

Eleven critical issues in the study of bilingualism: Insightful analyses by
renowned expert François Grosjean

The majority of people living around the world today are able to speak more
than one language, yet many aspects of the nature and experience of
bilingualism raise unresolved questions for researchers. Who exactly is
bilingual? What is the extent of bilingualism? How do infant bilinguals who
acquire two languages at the same time manage to separate them?  Does language
processing work differently when bilinguals are interacting with monolinguals
and with bilinguals? When a speaker changes their language, do they also
change aspects of their personality?

In "The Mysteries of Bilingualism", eminent scholar François Grosjean provides
a comprehensive examination of individual bilingualism that delves into
unanswered questions and challenges many of the myths and misconceptions
surrounding bilingualism. Through insightful analyses of eleven key questions,
this book offers a unique combination of personal reflection, literature
review, personal testimony, and case studies to explore these mysteries.
Altogether, this text offers:

- Comprehensive explorations of the linguistic aspects of bilingualism,
including who is bilingual, describing bilinguals, accented speech, and
language loss

- Practical discussions of speech and language processing, including language
choice and mixed speech perception and production

- In-depth examinations of personality and culture in relation to bilingualism
and biculturalism

Perfect for undergraduate and graduate students of bilingualism,
multilingualism, second language acquisition, and applied linguistics, The
Mysteries of Bilingualism offers an up-to-date view of the leading research
questions in the study of bilingualism today.
