A PARENTS GUIDE TO BILINGUALISM - PAMELA FITZPA...

This book discusses the questions of mixed-marriage bilingualism including that of the myths
and prejudices still surrounding it. Based on the long-term experiences of 45 families  it
presents a wide range of views  intended to reassure parents and make it easier for them to
decide which path to take. Providing a close-up look at the day-to-day workings of bilingual
families  it often illustrates points with personal anecdotes and tries to show how children in
such families are likely to become bilingual. What options are open to most parents and what
will make them work? How much choice do parents really have? Which factors can tip the scales?
Written in straightforward English and avoiding all linguistic jargon  it is intended for those
interested in bilingualism but with no knowledge of linguistics  who simply want to learn about
the ways in which children can become bilingual. It is in particular for the growing number of
couples who do not share the same mother tongue and have  or are planning to have  a family and
also for their relatives or friends who may be critical of the idea of children growing up with
two languages.
