Multiple linguistic competencies Multilingual To be proficient in more than one language Example: someone who speaks English and Spanish Multidialectal To be proficient in more than one dialect or variety of the same language Example: someone who speaks Standard American English and Chicano English Even people who speak only one language and only one dialect have multiple styles or ways of speaking

Evidence from Research and Principles from Linguistics Tell Us… More than half of the world’s population is bilingual or multilingual. Bilingualism provides some protection from cognitive diseases like Alzheimer’s. Bilingual children often outperform monolingual children in cognitive tasks and social problem solving. Children who are proficient in their heritage language often have higher self-esteem, more solid family relationships, and are less likely to drop out of high school.

Language, dialect, and accent Key and Peele clip: do you think they were shifting between languages, dialects, or accents? Language: not mutually comprehensible Dialect: a particular form of language that is spoken by a specific region or social group Accent: a common way of referring to the sounds of speech Clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3UgpfSp2t6k

Evidence from Research and Principles from Linguistics Tell Us… Only fluent bilinguals truly code-switch. Spanglish is a rule-governed system that has great expressive potential and that is used by many fluent bilinguals for a complex set of reasons. Not all bilinguals (even very fluent bilinguals) can translate or interpret easily because this is a skill that has to be cultivated, and not an automatic part of bilingualism.
