While the nature of bilingualism and multilingualism has often been misunderstood, the bilingual community is a dynamic and ever-growing part of the global population. This book pioneers the study of bilingualism across the lifespan and in all its diverse forms. In framing the newest research within a lifespan perspective, the editors highlight the importance of considering an individual's age--from infancy to late adulthood--when researching how bilingualism affects language acquisition and cognitive development. Four major topics are explored: (a) early bilingualism, (b) factors affecting bilingualism across the lifespan, (c) academic achievement and literacy in bilinguals, and (d) cognitive effects of bilingualism. A key theme is the variability among bilinguals, which may be due to a host of individual and sociocultural factors, including the degree to which bilingualism is or is not valued in each country and context. This book is a call for language researchers, psychologists, and educators to pursue and promote a better understanding of bilingualism in our increasingly multicultural society."--Back cover. 650 0 $a Language acquisition $x Age factors. 650 0 $a Second language acquisition. 650 0 $a Bilingualism. 650 0 $a Cognitive learning. 650 0 $a Psycholinguistics. 700 1 $a Nicoladis, Elena, $e editor. 700 1 $a Montanari, Simona $c (Linguist), $e editor. 830 0 $a Language and the human lifespan series. 941 $a 2 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190502030535.0 952 $l SOAX911 $d 20180821010542.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B839EC02A18B11E6AED112AEDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
