The bilingual brain - and what it tells us about the science of language

This book explores the impact of bilingualism on daily life from infancy to old age. It reveals, among other things, how babies differentiate between two languages just hours after birth, how accent affects the way in which we perceive others, and even why bilinguals are better at conflict resolution.
