LANGUAGE, IDENTITY AND UNITY IN EUROPE THROUGH BILINGUALITY
LANGUAGE, IDENTITY AND UNITY IN EUROPE THROUGH BILINGUALITY

Summary/Abstract: Bilinguality is a phenomenon frequently encountered in all European countries, including Romania. The various definitions given to bilinguality might require a description of the forms of bilinguality as well as an analysis of their effect upon intellectual functions and the display of several occurrences of bilinguality. But, even more important than such theoretical approaches, bilinguality might be the answer to language identity and unity in Europe. On the one hand, it enables the emphasizing of the cultural origins representing the identity of the nations and, on the other one, it is a carrier of a language unity that, nonetheless, does not call off national identity.
