Summary
The study of bilingualism unfolds against a varied backdrop of sociocultural and sociopolitical factors. While the nature of bilingualism and multilingualism has often been misunderstood, the bilingual community is a dynamic and ever-growing part of the global population.
In framing the newest research within a lifespan perspective, the editors highlight the importance of considering an individual's age — from infancy to late adulthood — when researching how bilingualism affects language acquisition and cognitive development. Four major topics are explored:
- early bilingualism
- factors affecting bilingualism across the lifespan
- academic achievement and literacy in bilinguals
- cognitive effects of bilingualism
