Description
The Adaptive Bilingual Mind offers a comprehensive exploration of bilingualism through the lens of endangered languages. Evangelia Adamou combines cutting-edge cognitive science research with real-world case studies to understand how bilingual speakers navigate and process multiple languages.
The book investigates the neural mechanisms underlying language acquisition, maintenance, and code-switching in bilingual individuals. By studying endangered language communities, Adamou reveals how speakers adapt their linguistic resources and develop innovative strategies to preserve their heritage languages while engaging with dominant languages.
Readers will discover how bilingualism shapes cognitive development, influences cultural identity, and demonstrates remarkable human adaptability. The work provides valuable insights for linguists, cognitive scientists, educators, and anyone interested in understanding how the human mind manages linguistic diversity and language change.
