Title: Book: Bilingual Siblings: Language Use in Families
Body: From http://www.multilingualmatters.com/display.asp?K=9781847693266 Bilingual Siblings: Language Use in Families By Suzanne Barron-Hauwaert Published by Multilingual Matters Summary: How do bilingual brothers and sisters talk to each other? Sibling language use is an uncharted area in studies of bilingualism. From a perspective of independent researcher and parent of three bilingual children Suzanne Barron-Hauwaert discusses the issues of a growing bilingual or multilingual family. What happens when there are two or more children at different stages of language development? Do all the siblings speak the same languages? Which language(s) do the siblings prefer to speak together? Could one child refuse to speak one language while another child is fluently bilingual? How do the factors of birth order, personality or family size interact in language production? With data from over 100 international families this book investigates the reality of family life with two or more children and languages.

Title: Book: Comparative Perspectives on Language Acquisition
Body: From http://www.multilingual-matters.com/display.asp?isb=9781847696038 Comparative Perspectives on Language Acquisition: A Tribute to Clive Perdue Marzena Edited by Sandra BenazzoWatorek and Maya Hickmann Published by Multilingual Matters Description: This volume aims to provide a broad view of second language acquisition, from initial to final stages. It does this within a comparative perspective that addresses results concerning adult and child learners across a variety of source and target languages, in order to assess the relative weight of cognitive and typological determinants during language learning. Review: This well-edited collection of papers responds to the theoretical issues that concerned Clive Perdue throughout his productive career. The 29 chapters examine similarities and differences between monolinguals, childhood bilinguals, and adult and child learners of a second language. We see how learner productions are influenced by perceptual abilities, L1 transfer, and explicit learning as they operate across the lifespan, rather than some uniform expiration of a critical period.
