Reviews

The many facets of bilingualism are explored in this book with unprecedented breadth and depth. Through the prism of multidisciplinary research the volume paints a vivid picture of bilingualism throughout the lifespan. This is an outstanding state-of-the-art contribution to our knowledge of the field in the 21st century. Ludovica Serratrice, The University of Manchester, UK This volume succeeds in combining breadth and depth in an impressive manner. It covers many of the most discussed topics in the study of bilingualism - from the neuroscience of two grammars in bilinguals over code-switching and cross-linguistic influence to bilingual schooling - and still does not back away from the theoretical and analytical complexities of each of the themes. The editors have put together an up-to-date and important book that will find a wide audience. Kenneth Hyltenstam, Stockholm University, Sweden
