Recensione

"This impressive, greatly expanded and authoritative collection of established and emerging research topics in bi- and multilingualism challenges a monolingualist mindset that has dominated thinking about language, mind, and nation-state." - Jyotsna Vaid, Texas A&M University
 
"This new handbook not only updates its first edition but supplements it significantly. It provides an important and timely complement to that earlier volume, extending its focus beyond bilingualism to 'plurilingualism', and expanding contributions by eminent scholars in the field. With its wide ranging but focused approaches to this complex field, it provides an essential resource for any researcher, teacher or student who wishes to understand this area." - Barbara Lust, Cornell University
