Multilingualism and Identity

Multilingualism is increasingly common in today’s globalized world, shaping individual identities and community dynamics. It influences cognitive development, intercultural communication, and language policy. Multilingualism and Identity examines how speaking multiple languages affects selfperception, social belonging, and cultural expression. The book discusses bilingual education, codemixing, and the politics of language use. It also explores how migration, globalization, and technology contribute to evolving multilingual identities. Through crosscultural perspectives and case studies, it provides insights into the complex interplay between language, identity, and society.
