Abstract

This article explores the dynamics of language acquisition in multilingual environments, examining how exposure to multiple languages affects linguistic development. The study investigates the cognitive and social factors that facilitate multilingualism, alongside the challenges encountered in such settings. By analyzing both quantitative and qualitative data from diverse multilingual contexts, the research aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms underpinning language acquisition in multilingual environments. The key findings suggest that multilingual exposure enhances cognitive flexibility and metalinguistic awareness, though it may also present certain challenges in language differentiation and code-switching.
