Abstract:

Until recently, the history of debates about language and thought has been a 
history of thinking of language in the singular. The purpose of this volume is to 
reverse this trend and to begin unlocking the mysteries surrounding thinking and 
speaking in bi- and multilingual speakers. If languages influence the way we 
think, what happens to those who speak more than one language? And if they 
do not, how can we explain the difficulties second language learners experience 
in mapping new words and structures onto real-world referents? The contributors 
to this volume put forth a novel approach to second language learning, 
presenting it as a process that involves conceptual development and 
restructuring, and not simply the mapping of new forms onto pre-existing 
meanings.
