Classifications of multilinguals, multilingual contexts and languages in multilingual env 330 $aThis book is an authoritative account of multilingualism in the present era, a phenomenon affecting a vast number of communities, thousands of languages and millions of language users. The book's focus is specifically on the knowledge and use of multiple languages, but its treatment of the topic is very wide-ranging. It deals with both bilingualism and polyglottism, at the level of the individual speaker as well as at the societal level. The volume addresses not only linguistic facets of multilingualism but also multilingualism's cultural, sociological, educational, and psychological dimension 410 0$aImpact, studies in language and society ;$v30. 606 $aMultilingualism 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMultilingualism. 676 $a404/.2 700 $aAronin$b Larissa$0847482 701 $aSingleton$b D.
