As globalization has increased awareness of the extent of language
contact and linguistic diversity, questions concerning bilingualism and
multilingualism have taken on an increasing importance from both
practical and scholarly points of view. While there is a vast amount of
information pertaining to research on bilingual and multilingual
individuals and communities there is little information that deals with
its methodology from different disciplinary perspectives in a
systematic and coherent way.
Written by leading experts in the field, The Blackwell Guide to
Research Methods in Bilingualism and Multilingualism specifically
addresses methodological issues, discussing research topics, key
concepts and approaches, and the methods and tools for collecting and
analyzing data. This useful and timely resource is the first of its
kind to link theory to method and data.
