Assunto: | Re: Genuine Bilingualism |
Mensagem: | There are several kinds and degrees of bilingualism and bilingual situations. Different definitions reflect different assumptions about the degree of proficiency one must achieve to qualify as bilingual. In a strict sense (what you refer to as genuine bilingualism) it would be native-like proficiency in two languages. In a general interpretation it could be just a functional proficiency in two languages. |
