Viorica Marian
Toni Morrison once said "If there's a book that you want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it."
The Power of Language is the book I’ve always wanted to read. I live my life in more than one language, as do many people around the world, but most popular science books about language are centered on monolingualism.
I wrote The Power of Language so others could dive into the fascinating minds and worlds of bilinguals and multilinguals. The book is a psycholinguistic journey into the interaction between language and mind in speakers of more than one language.
