Abstract:

François Grosjean is one of the world's best-known scholars in the
study of bilingualism. Over a career spanning two continents, his
holistic approach has made groundbreaking contributions to many areas
of the field. This book surveys this lifetime of work, from the start
of his career, to where it stands today. The first chapter sets the
stage with his personal experience as a bilingual, and the chapters
that follow then deal with his holistic view of bilingualism, the
bilingual's language modes, the Complementarity Principle, spoken
language processing, cross-linguistic influence, biculturalism, the
bilingualism and biculturalism of the Deaf, the statistics of
bilingualism, and special bilinguals. In each chapter, he describes
the concept, theory or findings that he proposed, adds follow-up
comments, and discusses reactions, replications and extensions. The
final chapter underlines the importance of informing the general
public about bilingualism and biculturalism, and illustrates how this
can be done.
