Bilingualism and minority languages in Europe: current trends and developments

This collection considers such issues as the cognitive, linguistic and emotional benefits of speaking two languages, the perceptions, attitudes, and issues relating to identity in minority language areas, and the number of grammatical aspects amongst those who speak these minority languages.

The premise of the book is based on the fact that these minority languages have, in the past, been in danger of becoming obsolete, mainly because of negative attitudes regarding the benefits of speaking languages that are considered irrelevant internationally.
