Page i Language Attitudes among Arabic-French Bilinguals in Morocco Page ii Multilingual Matters This new series of books covers some of the many aspects of multilingualism and multiculturalism throughout the world. The series title is meant to be inclusive rather than exclusive, for we hope to publish works on languages in contactand sometimes in conflictin varying types of community. Our aim is to establish the advantages of bilingualism and multilingualism in their wider cultural settings, while at the same time identifying problems and working towards solutions. At times the series will cover fundamental theory, at others policy implementation in an educational system, and at others again, the factors involved in bringing up children bilingually in the home. 1.
