Trilingual First Language Acquisition: Perspectives from the child, the father and the researcher
An old and unsubstantiated fear was that children growing up with multiple languages from birth end up with incomplete knowledge of all of their languages. Recent research has shown that this is not the case, and using his 14 year old trilingual daughter as an example, Jean-Marc Dewaele shows that early multilingualism (in this case Dutch, French and English) can lead to high achievement.
