Abstract:

This book explores the life and experiences of one of the world's most
renowned and well-respected experts in bilingualism. Francois Grosjean takes
us through his life, from his monolingual childhood in a small village outside
Paris to the long periods of time he spent in Switzerland, England, France,
and the United States, becoming bilingual and bicultural in the process.
During his life, his dominant language has changed many times between English
and French, and he has also acquired, and subsequently lost, other languages,
including American Sign Language. Throughout the book, he combines his
personal accounts and anecdotes with insights from and reflections on his
extensive scholarly research in bilingualism and biculturalism, which has, in
turn, been heavily influenced by his own experiences. Written in an engaging
and accessible style, the book will appeal to general readers interested in
bilingualism and language contact, educators and parents of bilingual
children, researchers working on bilingualism, and to bilinguals themselves.
