The new edition has been completely revised to incorporate recent work in this fast developing field.  \u003cp\u003eThroughout the book, bilingualism is seen as both a societal and cognitive phenomenon. Professor Romaine explores various aspects of bilingual behavior, such as code switching and language mixing, in terms of neurolinguistic organization in the individual speaker. The author also assesses the positive and negative claims made for the effects of bilingualism on children's cognitive, social and academic development, and examines the assumptions behind various language policies and programs for bilingual children. In all this, Professor Romaine draws on her own research with Punjabi \/Engllish bilinguals in Britain, and Tok Pisin\/ English bilingual children in Papua New Guinea.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eList of Figures. \u003cp\u003eList of Tables.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEditor's Preface.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePreface to Second Edition.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.
