Abstract

Bilingualism has been investigated by linguists interested in the phonemic and grammatical interactions of two or more languages used in the same community. The psychologist's interest centers on the effects of two sets of semantemes upon verbal behavior and thinking. Weinreich (1953) in a recent review of the literature reports several studies in which two types of bilingual systems are identified.
