The Bilingual Mind: Thinking, Feeling and Speaking in Two Languages

Cognition and Language: A Series in Psycholinguistics

by Rafael Art. Javier

This book fills a critical gap in the cross-cultural literature by illuminating the bilingual experience in both its social and clinical contexts. Rafael Javier makes a convincing, empirically founded case for what he terms the bilingual mind, with its own particular approach to cognition, memory, and emotional and social development. Using this framework, he provides answers to important questions about the way bilingualism affects cognition and development.
