My need to understand how languages work in multilingual contexts goes back to
my childhood. I remember learning that my hometown of Montreal was famous as a
bilingual city. As a preschooler, I thought the two relevant languages were
Hungarian and English – the languages I heard among family and friends. When I
learned a few years later that it was actually French and English that
“counted,” and that there was a long history of scholarship about how these
language influence each other, my passion for linguistics was born. Today, I
work with a vibrant group of students to document and examine Toronto's
heritage languages, as reported here [LINK:
