Multilingual Matters
This new series of books covers some of the many aspects of
multilingualism and multiculturalism throughout the world. The series
title is meant to be inclusive rather than exclusive, for we hope to
publish works on languages in contactand sometimes in conflictin
varying types of community. Our aim is to establish the advantages of
bilingualism and multilingualism in their wider cultural settings, while
at the same time identifying problems and working towards solutions.
At times the series will cover fundamental theory, at others policy
implementation in an educational system, and at others again, the
factors involved in bringing up children bilingually in the home.
