SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Examines the evidence available keeping two main questions in mind - the first is whether multilinguals should be considered as learners and speakers in their own right, and the second is how proficient in a non-native language learners are supposed to be before they can begin to be classified as multilingual learners in empirical research.
