The Bilingualism Reader

‘Li Wei has put together…an absolutely essential minimal foundation for any

serious student of bilingualism. It contains major classics that form the basis of

courses at whatever level,…covering a wide range of issues central to the major

concerns of the study of the bilingual individual. No fundamental issue of

current interest in the field has been omitted. The methodology chapter contains

very useful warnings and advice.’

Hugo Baetens Beardsmore, Vrije Universiteit, Brussel

‘This is a very well judged selection of classic articles on bilingualism. The

Introduction provides a most comprehensive advance organizer to the subject

and is joined by valuable study questions and activities for each section.’

Colin Baker, University of Wales at Bangor

The Bilingualism Reader is a comprehensive collection of key classic articles

in the study of bilingualism. Designed as a structured student reader, it covers:

• definitions and typology of bilingualism

• language choice and bilingual interaction

• grammar of code-switching and bilingual acquisition

• the bilingual brain and bilingual production and perception

• methodological issues in the study of bilingualism.

Invaluable editorial material guides the reader through the different sections.

Critical discussion of research methods, graded study questions and activities, a

comprehensive glossary, and an up-to-date resource list make The Bilingualism

Reader an essential introductory text for students.
