Bilingualism, Cognitive development, Bilingual behavior, Emotion, IdentityAbstract
The present study represents a literature review on the area of bilingualism, in which it is intended to highlight some natural characteristics of bi- or multilingual speakers. It also aims to describe this important phenomenon, which is often shrouded in myths, uncertainties and misunderstandings on the part of parents, as well as some health professionals and teachers. Following the evolutionary chronology studies on bilingualism and behavior are also described, the bilingual cognitive development, and their possible advantages and disadvantages. It also addresses the existing connections between bilingualism and emotion in both the linguistic-social and psychological scope. Initial results are presented in the scope of bi-multilingualism in children, focusing on aspects such as the feeling of belonging to a social group, language-choice, fears and uncertainties of parents regarding bilingual education.
