5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Introduction, February 28, 2006
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Bilingualism (Language in Society) (Paperback)
Romaine provides an excellent introduction to the field of bilingualism. Of the texts I have read on the topic, this is perhaps the one that finds the best balance between readability and comprehensiveness. She covers the main subfields of bilingualism, and discusses numerous studies in the field. If you're just getting into the field, this will serve as a great guide, and you'll be able to find some great resources which you'll then be able to pursue independently. I strongly recommend this as the first book to read on bilingualism. After you read this, then you can move on to more advanced texts.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bought for a class, but enjoyed materials covered in book, April 16, 2009
This review is from: Bilingualism (Language in Society) (Paperback)
I had to buy this for my FLA 499 Bilingualism and Languages in Contact class at ASU. There is a lot of material covered in the book by the author, but it's very informative and gives good references for further research on bilingualism/linguistics. Glad the professor picked this book--I still reference it for research/sources in my other linguistics classes.
