not caused by bilingualism or cured by monolingualism” (Kohnert, 2013). A common misconception about bilingual children is that the acquisition of subsequent languages causes or exacerbates a speech sound disorder. I intended to prove that this is not the case. In order to do this I will firstly clarify the principles and practices of differential diagnosis of Speech Sound Disorders and the possible models used. I then intend to compare and contrast monolingualism and bilingualism with reference

I would have never thought I would incorporate these many languages in my life, but I am glad I have, for they are very applicable.

The bilingualism has represented a debatable theme because of the way it has interfered with people’s emotions. This subject has been discussed by Anna Wierzbicka in her article Bilingual Lives, Bilingual Experience. She starts from the idea of the multilingual German sinologue Christoph Harbsmeier according to which the language has an influence on people’s thoughts, feelings and on their ways of being.
