Monolinguals: a species facing extinction?

Linguistics research has traditionally been shaped by the idea of a native
monolingual speaker. Research on language learning and bilingualism has also
defined attainment levels (e.g. “near-native speakers”) and differences
(‘advantages' or 'disadvantages’) with respect to native monolingual norms. 
Is this still appropriate? I will show how interdisciplinary research that
combines the strengths of linguistic, cognitive and social models is
deconstructing the notion of the 'monolingual speaker' as a default. This, in
turn, opens up new research avenues on bilingualism and, more generally, on
language.
