Book Citation

Grosjean, François. Bilingual: Life and Reality. Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard University Press, 2010. Print.

This book is about exactly what the title describes; bilingual and reality. It explains real life situations of being bilingual and using it, to many different aspects of bilingual life including a break down of each aspect. I believe the book to be an accurate and credible source due to two main reasons. A) The author, Francois Grosjean, has studied psycholinguistics and founded the Language and Speech Processing Laboratory at a university of which he was a professor at, and B) The book was copyrighted by the president of Harvard School, which is one of the top schools in the nation. Although my topic is being bilingual in the marketing career, this book is still pretty helpful. This  book is helpful to my research topic because it helps me to better understand bilingual people and how they use it in their everyday life. The different situations it is applied to gives me more of an idea of how useful and helpful it is for someone to be bilingual in just their life, let alone to assist in there career!
