This book aims to fill a gap in Greek literature regarding bilingualism, a field of knowledge that has seen tremendous international development, as evidenced by the large number of handbooks, monographs, encyclopedias, and journals available in global literature, scientific conferences, and even blogs with practical advice for parents and educators.

It presents important data on the linguistic and cognitive development of bilingual children mainly, as well as on the linguistic processing in adult bilingual individuals. One of its goals is to raise awareness among readers about the particular significance of methodological issues that arise in research with bilingual populations, while placing special emphasis on the sociocultural parameters of bilingualism and its management in the school context.

It is the suitable manual for university courses in psycholinguistics, linguistics, cognitive sciences, speech and language pathology, applied linguistics, and education. However, it also addresses individuals who are not necessarily experts but wish to gain some knowledge regarding the issues of bilingual language development and bilingual education.
