Three is a Crowd?: Acquiring Portuguese in a Trilingual Environment

by Madalena Cruz-Ferreira

The book describes three siblings' apportioning of linguistic and cultural space among three Portuguese, Swedish and English. Parallel strategies accounting for monolingual and multilingual language management shape a truly illuminating picture of child linguistic competence. Written by a multilingual parent, educator and linguist, this book is for parents, educators and linguists in our predominantly, increasingly multilingual world.
