Download or read book Thinking and Speaking in Two Languages written by Aneta Pavlenko and published by Multilingual Matters. This book was released on 2011-01-19 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Until recently, the history of debates about language and thought has been a history of thinking of language in the singular. The purpose of this volume is to reverse this trend and to begin unlocking the mysteries surrounding thinking and speaking in bi- and multilingual speakers. If languages influence the way we think, what happens to those who speak more than one language? And if they do not, how can we explain the difficulties second language learners experience in mapping new words and structures onto real-world referents? The contributors to this volume put forth a novel approach to second language learning, presenting it as a process that involves conceptual development and restructuring, and not simply the mapping of new forms onto pre-existing meanings.
