While it is difficult to come up with a solid estimate, and any estimate depends crucially on the definition of “bilingual”, it is often claimed that the majority of the world’s population is bilingual, i.e., speaks two or more languages in their daily lives (see, e.g., Ansaldo et al., 2008). These individuals will typically incorporate more than one language into their writing.

摘要

While it is difficult to come up with a solid estimate, and any estimate depends crucially on the definition of “bilingual”, it is often claimed that the majority of the world’s population is bilingual, i.e., speaks two or more languages in their daily lives (see, e.g., Ansaldo et al., 2008). These individuals will typically incorporate more than one language into their writing.
