This volume provides a broad overview of current work in aphasia in individuals who speak more than one language. With contributions from many of the leading researchers in the field, the material included, both experimental work and theoretical overviews, should prove useful to both researchers and clinicians. The book should also appeal to a broader audience, including all who have an interest in the study of language disorders in an increasingly multicultural/multilingual world (e.g. students of speech-language pathology and linguistics). The areas of multilingual aphasia addressed in this collection include assessment and treatment, language phenomena (e.g. code-switching), particular language pairs (including a bidialectal study), and the role of cultural context.

This book is an impressive and essential guide to the bewildering and urgent clinical and theoretical problems posed by bilingual/multilingual aphasia. It presents puzzling and challenging case studies, discussion of resources for testing and therapy, useful small-group studies and insightful overviews, with psycholinguistically and therapeutically sophisticated attention paid to cognitive, social and linguistic factors.
