The writers are twelve multilinguals who have been influenced by quite different contextual factors and who have learned a wide range and combination of dialects and languages from both similar and very different linguistic families. The combinations explored in the narratives include some lesser-known languages that come from under-researched areas, such as the African continent, certain parts of Asia, the Middle East, and Eastern Europe. Also unique are two theoretical chapters which analyze the narrative data against the background of language development research findings within several thematic areas: multiple language learning as a complex dynamic system; the influence of bilingualism/multilingualism on the acquisition of additional languages; cross-linguistic influence; and also emotions, motivation, and identity. The aim of this juxtaposition and analysis is to allow a meaningful comparison of the extent to which etic, researcher-generated, and emic, learner-offered perspectives match or diverge, and to identify new questions that the emic data may add to research agendas. The book is an excellent resource not only for researchers but also for teachers as well as for students of language at the graduate and undergraduate level. 410 0$aTrends in applied linguistics ;$v3. 606 $aMultilingualism$xPsychological aspects 606 $aPsycholinguistics 606 $aSecond language acquisition 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMultilingualism$xPsychological aspects. 615 0$aPsycholinguistics. 615 0$aSecond language acquisition. 676 $a404/.2019 686 $aER 930$2rvk 701 $aTodeva$b Elka$f1954-$01052300 701 $aCenoz$b Jasone$0175583 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910459306903321 996 $aThe multiple realities of multilingualism$92483457 997 $aUNINA
