Comment/Description

Multilingualism is a normal condition for most people in this world. Monolingual people, in turn, are the minority.
This seminar will examine different aspects of multilingualism and plurilingualism. We will look at individual multilingualism (i.e., plurilingualism) such as the multilingual brain, early bilingual language acquisition, multilingualism in education, as well as multilingualism in societies.
