Summary
Looking back over my career, I realize, sometimes with a tinge of incredulity, that I have been active in bilingualism research for more than fifty years. This resulted in articles, chapters, and books, the cofounding of a new academic journal, a general public blog, lectures and conferences, and interactions of different types. Just in the domain of books, I have written, among others, a textbook,1 two monographs for a general public,2 a collection of essays,3 a compilation of blog posts,4 and two primers,5 one with Ping Li, and the other with Krista Byers-Heinlein.
