Language in monolingual speakers of different languages is examined as well as specific issues that may arise in speakers who speak two or more languages.

Comprehensive, clear coverage of the complex topic of bilingualism and stuttering. Approaching this topic from a language perspective, all things are considered from genetic, cortical, and environment to cultural, clinical, even animistic factors!
