This updated and revised edition of Hamers and Blanc's successful textbook presents new knowledge about languages in contact from individual bilinguality to societal bilingualism. It is multi- and interdisciplinary in approach, and analyzes bilingualism at individual, interpersonal, and societal levels. Linguistic, cognitive and sociocultural aspects of bilingual development are explored, as are bilingual problems. The authors cover a range of issues including the relationship among culture, identity, and language behavior in multicultural settings; communication strategies in interpersonal and intergroup relations; language shift; pidgins and creoles; language planning; and bilingual education.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent textbook but needs to be updated,
By ervin-tr@cogsci.berkeley.edu (Berkeley, California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bilinguality and Bilingualism (Paperback)
Have used this book in undergraduate teaching for many years because there is nothing recent to come near it in psychological coverage. But I wish someone had written a more up to date version or edition in an easier variety of English.
