widely accepted norm in so many parts of the world that it is often assumed to
be a world-wide phenomenon, at the extent that bilingual and multilingual in- (1)______
dividuals may appear to be "unusual". Indeed, we often have mixed feeling (2)______
when we discover that someone we meet is fluent in several languages: per

riority in that many such people are not native to the culture which we func- (4)______
tion:they are likely to be immigrants, visitors, or children of "mixed" marria
ges and in that respect "marked" in some way. Although, in many parts of the (5)______

portant skill in society, the skill of being able to interact freely with the
speakers of other languages with whom regular contact is made in the ordina
ry business of living. In many parts of the world it is just a normal requirement
of daily living which people speak several languages: perhaps one or more at (7)______
home, another in the village, still another for purposes of trade, and yet
another for contact with the outside world of wide social or political organiza- (8)______
tion. These various languages are usually acquired naturally and unselfcon
sciously, as the shifts from one to another are made without hesitation. (9)______
People’s language choices are part of the social identity they acclaim for (10)______
themselves.
