This volume provides a broad overview of current work in aphasia in individuals who speak more than one language. Contributions from many leading researchers in the field span experimental work and theoretical perspectives, addressing assessment and treatment, language phenomena (e.g., code-switching), particular language pairs (including a bidialectal study), and the role of cultural context.
