Why is it important?
It is important to know how multilingual speakers can show different recovery patterns from monolinguals, especially when considering rehabilitation and speech language therapy goals.
Perspectives
This chapter triggered much interest in the field. There is limited research in aphasia in multilingual or bilingual speakers. This is unfortunate, as a majority of the world's population speak more than one language.
