Additive and subtractive bilingualism in an Uzbek English language learner
Year: 2025
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: In multilingual societies, bilingualism represents not only a linguistic phenomenon but also a sociocultural and cognitive process. The distinction between additive and subtractive bilingualism, introduced by Lambert (1974), plays a crucial role in understanding the outcomes of second language acquisition. In the Uzbek context, English has gained significant importance as a global language, yet its relationship with the Uzbek mother tongue varies depending on educational and social factors.
