Abstract:

Written by internationally recognized researchers and educators,
Understanding Multilingualism: An Introduction provides detailed
coverage of the various dimensions of modern multilingualism. It
highlights the interdisciplinary nature of the field by exploring the
broad spectrum of different sociolinguistic, psycholinguistic, and
neurocognitive approaches to the study of multilingualism.
The text begins by defining and clarifying the scope of
multilingualism studies as a distinctive, interdisciplinary field of
inquiry. Subsequent chapters discuss the historical development and
theoretical models of multilingualism, how the brain processes
multiple languages, the effect of multilingualism on human cognition,
how multilingual processing changes over the human lifespan, societal
management of multilingualism, multilingual education, and impact of
technological advancement on multilingualism. The book concludes by
addressing the prospect of a post-multilingual world and
methodological issues in studying multilingualism.
Considers the cognitive and linguistic implications of multilingualism
to applied linguistics and language acquisition
Examines the connections between multilingualism and changing
socio-political and economic landscapes
Reviews modern theories, methods, and research findings in
multilingualism studies
Discusses complex topics at both the individual and societal level
Features numerous exercises, discussion questions, assignments,
further readings, suggested research topics, and real-life case
studies
Understanding Multilingualism: An Introduction is the perfect primary
textbook for undergraduate courses in multilingualism and
bilingualism, and an excellent resource for advanced students in
applied linguistics, sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics, second
language acquisition, and foreign language education programs.
