Summary

Post 15.1 relates my interview with one of the greatest minds of our time, Noam Chomsky. The topics concerned whether there is a difference between monolinguals and bilinguals, whether you can lose a first language or not, the permanent influence of a second language on a first language, and why it is that bilinguals have been studied much less than monolinguals by theoretical linguists.

Post 15.2 is an interview with me conducted by Aneta Pavlenko to celebrate my fifty years in the field of bilingualism. I answer questions regarding my upbringing, the countries I lived in, the bilingual’s language modes, how the field of bilingualism has changed over these years, and the areas I would suggest younger colleagues delve into.
