Abstract:

What happens in the brain when learning a second language? Can
speaking more than one language provide cognitive benefits over a
lifetime? What implications does an increase in bilingualism have for
society? And what are the factors that can promote and support
bilingualism in children and adults? This book – a translated and
adapted version of Il Cervello Bilingue (2020) - answers these
questions and more, providing the reader with a comprehensive yet
concise guide on different topics related to bilingualism. Based on
the results of the most recent studies conducted internationally, it
discusses recent research findings, explains terminology, and
elaborates on the current state of the field, with the aim of
providing families and society with suggestions about how to encourage
bilingualism. Written in an engaging and accessible style, it takes
both academics and readers with no prior knowledge of the field on a
journey into the bilingual brain.
