A new model of bilingualism unifying psycholinguistics and sociolinguistics that explains how multiple factors interact within and across bilingual minds.

Recenzje

'In conclusion, Bilingualism in Action convincingly argues for the need for more granular, fine-tuned research that ties together sociolinguistic and psycholinguistic variables so as to understand the 'why' behind individual differences of bilingual processing and production outcomes. Indeed, this book made me ruminate on my own bilingual experience, my current usage tendencies, and the ways in which I convey typological differences when teaching my second language to Anglophone students. This text would greatly benefit scholars who wish to subvert their field's empirical norms and embrace the interdisciplinary nature of such a unified approach. Finally, this book would be an excellent addition to any graduate syllabus on bilingualism and would serve any graduate student seeking direction on her next research topic.' Rachel B. Poulin, The LINGUIST List
