Many people use multiple languages and dialects daily. What are the current scholarly models for this capacity? This book examines multilingual practices and learning through cognitive and sociolinguistic lenses. It focuses on multilingual repertoires and cross-linguistic influence, transfer, and convergence at linguistic pattern levels. Multilingualism is defined as a continuous, multidimensional phenomenon involving subsystems that evolve based on needs and affordances.

The book compares key theoretical views and evidence from tutored/untutored learning, minority settings, sign languages, and foreign language instruction. It also covers diverse learner types, from hyperpolyglots to ordinary second language users, and evaluates the implications for language policy and education.
