Title | Book: Bilingual |
Body | From http://www.hup.harvard.edu/catalog.php?recid=29740 Title: Bilingual: Life and Reality Author: François Grosjean Publisher: Harvard University Press Description: In a lively and often entertaining book, an international authority on bilingualism, son of an English mother and a French father, explores the many facets of bilingualism. In this book, François Grosjean draws on research, interviews, autobiographies, and the engaging examples of bilingual authors. He describes the various strategies—some useful, some not—used by parents raising bilingual children, explains how children easily pick up and forget languages, and considers how bilingualism affects the experience and expression of emotions, thoughts, and dreams. This book shows that speaking two or more languages is not a sign of intelligence, evasiveness, cultural alienation, or political disloyalty. For millions of people, it’s simply a way of navigating the complexities of life. Visit the publisher’s website at http://www.hup.harvard.edu/catalog.php?recid=29740 |
