TitleBeing Multilingual: Multilingualism Blog
Body
From http://linguistlist.org/issues/21/21-4227.html

Madalena Cruz-Ferreira, the author of the new Being Multilingual Blog, invites you to visit her new online resource:

http://beingmultilingual.blogspot.com

The aim of this blog is to discuss what it means to be multilingual and
what is involved in the regular use of several languages.

Multilingualism is often misunderstood, and often correlated with either
over-ability or disability. Myths and misconceptions about multilingualism
have consequences at home, in school and in clinic.

In addition, the languages used by multilinguals are the usual focus of
attention. The author’s focus is the people: multilingualism is not about what
several languages can do to people, it is about what people can do with
several languages.
