An Introduction to BilingualismIt is the policy of the Longman Linguistics Library series to cover all aspects of linguistics, descriptive and historical, theoretical and methodological. Some of its books serve as introductions to key aspects of the subject, others are more specialized. In all cases the books are self-contained: they are intended to treat important areas in general linguistics and to be of value for a number of years. |
