Table of ContentsReviewsThis book is an impressive and essential guide to the bewildering and urgent clinical and theoretical problems posed by bilingual/multilingual aphasia. It presents puzzling and challenging case studies, discussion of resources for testing and therapy, useful small-group studies and insightful overviews, with psycholinguistically and therapeutically sophisticated attention paid to cognitive, social and linguistic factors. -- Lise Menn, University of Colorado, USA In the past decade, there has been a dramatic increase of research on the science of bilingualism, recognizing that in much of the world, bilingualism is a common rather than exceptional circumstance. The present volume provides an exciting synthesis of the latest findings on bilingual aphasia, drawing implications for clinical assessment and treatment, and also for theoretical claims about language, the mind, and the brain. -- Judith Kroll, Pennsylvania State University, USA This book is an impressive and essential guide to the bewildering and urgent clinical and theoretical problems posed by bilingual/multilingual aphasia.
