The Bilingualism Reader
Editorial Reviews
Review
Wei's edited volume provides a useful contribution to those seriously interested in the study of bilingualism because in a single volume it makes available some of the most important classic works..
-Studies in Second Language Acquisition, Roy C. Major, Arizona State University
This book is clearly a bargain, and it is difficult to see how it could fail to become a core textbook for courses in bilingualism.
-Paul Meara, University of Wales Swansea, UK In System, 29: 3
This outstanding collection of the key articles in the field is an essential guide for incoming students and a wonderful resource for bilingualism scholars.
-Annotated Bibliography for English Studies
