講 師：   Antonella Sorace 氏 (University of Edinburgh Professor)

テーマ： More than one language: myths, science, and
         　 implications for society

要  旨： Research on bilingualism shows that learning more
            than one language can give children and adults a
            range of linguistic and mental benefits. This is true
            regardless of whether languages are spoken or
            signed, or whether they have worldwide diffusion or
            are spoken only in particular regions. However, there
            are still many widespread old misconceptions ? as
            well as some new ones - about what it means to
            have more than one language at different stages of
            life. I will first describe the main myths, facts and
            benefits of bilingualism over the lifespan. I will then
            show what our information and public engagement
            centre Bilingualism Matters is doing in the UK and
            internationally to disseminate correct information on
            bilingualism and to enable people to make informed
            decisions in different sectors of society.
