Multilingualism refers to the usage of more than one language by a single person or a group of people. It benefits people who desire to take part in cultural exchange, trade and globalization. The individual’s exposure to several languages has been increasingly possible as a result of easy access to Internet for information. Third language acquisition, or L3 acquisition, refers to the study of additional languages by multilinguals. It differs from second language acquisition since the latter is related with monolinguals learning an additional language. The success of learning a third language differs according to age and previously known languages, which might have complex implications on the language to be learned. This book unfolds the innovative aspects of multilingualism and L3 acquisition. It presents this complex subject in the most comprehensible and easy to understand language. The book will serve as a valuable source of reference for graduate and post graduate students.
