Recenzii
Dr. Kharkhurin has provided a strong overview of the theoretical and empirical claims that have been published and thought about in the areas of multilingualism and creativity, and he has done so expertly against a backdrop of the importance of these themes to pedagogy, educational applications, and the emerging field of creativity and bilingual/multilingual cognition. This book should be the 'first stop' for anyone who wishes to embark on this most interesting field of research and inquiry.Jeanette Altarriba, University at Albany, State University of New York, USAThere are books on multilingualism, and there are books on creativity, but this is the first book on multilingualism and creativity. Anatoliy Kharkhurin does a masterful job at bringing together these two fields in a comprehensive review that will hold the interest of both a novice student and a seasoned scientist.Viorica Marian, Northwestern University, USACreativity, an essential 21st century competency, and multilingualism, a core characteristic of modern social reality, begin to reveal their fundamental connections through Kharkhurin's analysis. The research reported explores the cognitive mechanisms and developmental issues, while respecting the cultural complexity of the phenomena and offering clear educational perspectives. Regardless of one's mother tongue, readers will find this book a fascinating, well-documented and insightful view of the ways that bilingualism and multilingualism contribute to creative thinking.Todd Lubart, Universite Paris Descartes, France
