Detailed explanation-1: -Bloomfield (1933:56) defines bilingualism as “native–like control of two languages” ––a very high goal indeed. For Haugen (1953:6) a bilingual produces “complete and meaningful utterances in other languages.” Weinreich (1953:1) considers bilingualism “the practice of alternately using two languages.”
Detailed explanation-2: -A second language is any language that a person uses other than a first or native language. Contemporary linguists and educators commonly use the term L1 to refer to a first or native language, and the term L2 to refer to a second language or a foreign language that’s being studied.
Detailed explanation-3: -Bilingualism is often the product of second language (L2) learning after the first language (L1) has been acquired–either through nontutored exposure or through instruction. Individuals can become bilingual at any age, depending on when the need to learn the L2 emerges or when instruction becomes available.
Detailed explanation-4: -Early bilingualism is frequently associated with simultaneous learning of the two languages, while late bilingualism is related to successive learning of them (L2 is learned after the first language [L1]).
