Education in a Bi/Multilingual Setting.
Paulston, Christina Bratt
International Review of Education, v24 n3 p309-28 1978
Group bilingualism is typically the result of contact and assimilation between ethnic groups. The language shift is influenced by the origin of the contact, the degree of enclosure, and the control exerted by dominant groups. Bilingual education may have the goal of language maintenance or induced language shift. (Author/SJL)
