In 2012 Jean-Jacques Weber and Kristine Horner published a comprehensive and comprehensible textbook that deals with the ever changing and evolving topic of multilingualism. The book is meant for both students and researchers in the field and it encourages its readers to question many of the present beliefs related to languages and multilingualism. Throughout the six parts of the textbook the authors cover topics such as language variation, types of multilingualism, multilingual education, and public discourses on multilingualism.
