Title | Book: The Multiple Realities of Multilingualism |
Body | From http://www.degruyter.de/cont/fb/sk/detailEn.cfm?id=IS-9783110224474-1 The Multiple Realities of Multilingualism: Personal Narratives and Researchers’ Perspectives Edited by Elka Todeva and Jasone Cenoz This book is the very first collection of first-person language learning narratives that offers rich introspective data on the various processes and forces shaping the development and maintenance of multiple languages (seven and more) in a single individual. The writers are twelve multilinguals who have been influenced by quite different contextual factors and who have learned a wide range and combination of dialects and languages from both similar and very different linguistic families. Also unique are two theoretical chapters which analyze the narrative data against the background of language development research findings within several thematic areas: multiple language learning as a complex dynamic system; the influence of bilingualism/multilingualism on the acquisition of additional languages; cross-linguistic influence; and also emotions, motivation, and identity.
