This text sets high standards for rigor and scientific approach to the
study of bilingualism and provides insights regarding the critical
issues of theory and practice, including the interdependence of
linguistic knowledge in bilinguals, the role of socioeconomic status,
the effect of different language usage patterns in the home, and the
role of schooling by single-language immersion as opposed to systematic
training in both home and target languages. The rich landscape of
outcomes reported in the volume should provide a frame for
interpretation and understanding of effects of bilingualism for years
to come.
