Bilingualism scholars are constantly striving to better explain and understand multilingualism. This introductory textbook admirably engages readers in the same spirit of curious and enthusiastic inquiry. This is a truly thought-provoking and pedagogically well-designed book that will lead to a better understanding of the complex and ubiquitous phenomenon of multilingual language learning and use. Annick De Houwer, Universitat Erfurt, Germany Written in a very clear and compelling style, with lucid examples and thought-provoking questions, this book offers a wealth of information about the complex spectrum of bilingualism, ranging from psycho- and neuro-linguistics to contact linguistics.
