Universal Bilingualism.

Roeper, Thomas

Bilingualism: Language and Cognition, v2 n3 p169-86 Dec 1999

Suggests that a narrow kind of bilingualism exists within every language and is present whenever two properties exist in a language that are not statable within a single grammar. This theoretical bilingualism is defined in terms of the minimalist theory of syntax presented by Chomsky (1995). (Author/VWL)
