What is bilingualism

Bilingualism refers to the ability to speak and understand two languages. There are different types of bilingualism, including sign languages combined with spoken languages, or the ability to read a language without speaking it. Being bilingual means having ability in two languages within the same modality (such as two spoken languages) or across different modalities (such as a sign language and spoken language). While the definition of bilingualism is debated, it generally requires more than just reading or writing in another language. Child bilingualism is believed to provide benefits such as enabling communication across cultures, but some argue it could retard development of the native language or cognitive skills.

This document discusses bilingualism and second language acquisition. It defines bilingualism as the ability to communicate in two languages and notes there is individual and social bilingualism. There can also be bidialectalism, referring to communicating in two dialects of the same language, and biscriptural competence, the ability to read two scripts of the same language. The document also discusses how the first language influences second language learning and errors, and how cultural communication is determined by native language structures. It argues that the potential of the first language can be used creatively in second language instruction. Bilingualism

1. Early research from 1920-1960 associated bilingualism with cognitive deficiencies, lower IQ scores, and even mental retardation. Bilingual children were seen as having terms like "mental confusion" and being up to 3 years behind monolingual peers.
2. Later research in the 1980s established the Common Underlying Proficiency (CUP) model which found that bilingualism does not lead to cognitive delays and that both languages share a common foundation that supports cognitive development.
3. Bilingual education utilizes two or more languages for literacy and knowledge acquisition. The degree to which each language is used can vary between bilingual programs.Bilinguals and bilingualism

The document discusses various perspectives on bilingualism from different studies:
- Thompson (1952) argued that bilingual children are handicapped in their language development.
- McLaughlin (1987) suggested that first and second language acquisition follow common principles.
- Later studies classified bilinguals into different types based on factors like early vs late acquisition, balanced vs dominant proficiency levels, and additive vs subtractive impacts on the first language.
- The importance of maintaining the mother tongue for bilingual children's personal and educational development was also emphasized.Acquisition of multilingualism

This document discusses multilingual acquisition compared to second language acquisition. Multilingual acquisition involves learning a non-native language after acquiring two or more other languages, and it is more common than second language acquisition. Multilingual acquisition presents greater complexity due to the number of languages involved. Research has focused on the dynamic process of multilingual acquisition and how bilingualism affects learning a third or subsequent language. Studies show that bilinguals tend to perform better than monolinguals in acquiring additional languages.Bilingualism

Bilingualism refers to proficiency in two or more languages. About half the world's population is bilingual. Children can become bilingual by acquiring two languages simultaneously from birth or learning a second language after mastering the first. Bilingualism exists on a spectrum from balanced proficiency in both languages to dominance in one. Being bilingual provides cognitive advantages such as better concept formation and analogical reasoning skills.Bilingualism by Agnes Lam

A bilingual person is someone who speaks two languages. A person can become bilingual either by acquiring two languages simultaneously as a child or by learning a second language after acquiring the first. Children of immigrants often grow up speaking their native language at home and English at school, but many bilingual Americans speak one language at home and another at work or school. While it is possible to learn a second language after childhood, it becomes more difficult with age and is generally hardest after puberty when the brain structure changes. Children can acquire two languages simultaneously as long as they receive regular exposure to both through speaking with fluent speakers, and do not need special abilities to become bilingual.

The document discusses language contact and bilingualism. It defines language contact as occurring when two languages are used in the same region and there is communication between speakers. This can result in language loss, bilingualism, or language change. Bilingualism is defined as an individual or society using two languages. Individual bilingualism depends on factors like language proficiency, acquisition context, age of acquisition, language domains, and social orientation. Code switching occurs when speakers alternate between two grammatical systems within a conversation and can be used for various social and communicative purposes.More Related Content

This document discusses definitions of bilingualism and the degree of bilingualism. It addresses the following key points:
1. There is no single definition of bilingualism as experts disagree on the level of competence required in both languages. Definitions range from native-like control to merely using two languages.
2. Most bilinguals fall on a proficiency continuum between these extremes. Their competence depends on social and individual factors like language use domains.
3. Degree of bilingualism refers to linguistic proficiency levels. It is best measured across four skills (speaking, writing, reading, listening) rather than as a single value, as competence can vary between skills.

This document discusses different ways of defining bilingualism and categorizing levels of bilingualism. It explores the range of definitions proposed by experts from minimal definitions requiring only some competence to maximal definitions requiring native-like ability. It also examines terms used to describe varying degrees of bilingualism, including balanced bilinguals with high competence in both languages, dominant bilinguals with stronger competence in one language, and passive or recessive bilinguals losing competence in one language. The document emphasizes that bilingual competence exists on a continuum and is influenced by social, cultural and environmental factors rather than having a single definition.Bilingul (repaired)

Social class is reflected in language differences. Lower classes tend to use "restricted code" with limited vocabulary and grammar, while upper classes use "elaborated code" with complex syntax. This affects children's education and ability to advance socially. Immigrants without English skills also face economic disadvantages. Regional dialects associated with lower status can hinder opportunities unless one is also fluent in Standard English, the language of business, media, and education. Language skills are often passed down from parents, contributing to an intergenerational cycle of poverty and lack of social mobility.Language for society

Social class is reflected in language differences. Lower classes tend to use "restricted code" with limited vocabulary and grammar, while higher classes use "elaborated code" with more complex language. This affects children's learning and ability to advance socially. Immigrants without English skills also face economic disadvantages. Regional dialects associated with lower classes can hinder opportunities if not used alongside standard English. Overall, language skills are passed down intergenerationally, and deficiencies in standard language reinforce the cycle of poverty between social classes.Dissertation Full

1. The document discusses second language acquisition in home vs. educational settings. It notes that learning a second language at home through exposure to both languages from birth may provide advantages over learning a new language only in school, including stronger vocabulary skills.
2. However, determined individuals can overcome deficits and become highly proficient in both languages even if the second language is only learned in school. Factors like socioeconomic status, language status, and home language use may also influence bilingual development.
3. Case studies of children learning a second language at home or in combination with school exposure show that with support from parents, both methods can successfully support balanced bilingualism.Bilingualism and Cognitive.docx

What is bilingualism
- 1. What is Bilingualism? A previously held thought: A person who is able to speak and understand 2 languages is a bilingual Sign languages along with ordinary speech-type languages Reading written form of a language without understanding or speaking the same languagefggh6 Different Varieties Bilingualism are as following: Sign language and Speech-based languages Two speech based languages As a result a Bilingual is: Therefore, a person is bilingual if she/he knows(a): two languages in the same modality (b): two languages based on different modalities Nevertheless, despite controversies on variables to determine the required skills so as to be called bilingual, it is agreed upon the fact that reading and writing in another language may not denote bilingualism. Also, Bidalectalism might not be deemed bilingualism despite mere differences between dialects across regions. Child Bilingualism Vs Adult Bilingualism Linguistic Development Stages in Children Surge of research pivoted round children for their flexibility A clear-cut understanding of concept of language on the part of adults.(Virginia Collier 1989) It is believed to be both detrimental and beneficial, but how? The first group contend that it bears much value since it: Enables us to communicate with other cultures Facilitates communications even inside some countries like Canada ,Switzerland However, it can be source of cultural colonization, some believe, and thus is banned by tyrannical regimes such as North Korea or the Soviet Union(former USSR)
- 2. Detriments Learning 2nd language at early ages would (a)retard or negatively influence the learning of native language or (b) intellectually retard the development of thinking and of such cognitive capacities as mathematics and reading On the other hand, Most of the criticisms leveled against bilingualism at early ages were owing to the na誰ve conceptions and experimental methodologies
