On the Dynamics of Early Multilingualism

This book contributes to current issues in TLA and multilingualism research. The author argues that trilingual education does not harm or confuse young learners but that the teaching of three languages from an early age carries positive implications for children's linguistic, metalinguistic, and crosslinguistic awareness.
