Description:
In framing the newest research within a lifespan perspective, the editors of this volume highlight the importance of considering an individual’s age in researching how bilingualism affects language acquisition and cognitive development. A key theme is the variability among bilinguals, which may be due to a host of individual and sociocultural factors, including the degree to which bilingualism is valued within a particular context.
