Davidson, D., & Saubert, W. (n.d.). Classroom Concerns: Legal and Ethical Implications of Internet Misuse. Retrieved from http://www.westga.edu/~bquest/2004/misuse.htm

The article calls attention to the problems of plagiarism and copyright infringement as a result of misused or abused information by students. Apart from legal implications such behavior is highly unethical because the work of others should be acknowledged in any case my means of proper citation and references. The problem is aggravated not only by students who see nothing wrong in “copy-paste” methods of searching information but also by “paper mills,” databases providing readymade papers to anyone. The author reminds about the concept “fair use” that should be applied by students, teachers and all other people within the education and news reporting fields. The “Fair use” rule implies properly citing the source even in the case of using a picture or an idea from the Internet.

Hamers, J. F., & Blanc, M. (2004). Bilinguality and bilingualism (2nd ed.). Cambridge: Cambridge University Press.

Josiane F. Hamers is a Professor of Psycholinguistics and Bilingualism in the Deґpartement de Langues et Linguistique at the Universiteґ Laval, Queґbec. Michel H. A. Blanc is Emeritus Reader in Applied Linguistics and Bilingualism at Birkbeck College, University of London. Both authors have a vast experience in researching and publishing on bilingualism and linguistics. The intended audience of the book is the scholarly milieu interested in bilingualism within such disciplines as psycholinguistics, linguistics, the social sciences, education and language planning. The information in the book is in the similar vein with the thesis of the paper and helps better understand such aspects of bilinguality as cognitive development and the sociocultural context. These aspects are highly influential for the level of language competence that children acquire because only a steady command of one language another one can be learnt (in sequential bilingualism) and a positive parental attitude and social valorization (in simultaneous bilinguialism) result in balanced and fluent bilingualism.

Bhatia, & W. C. Ritchie (Eds.), The handbook of bilingualism (pp. 244-267). Malden, MA: Blackwell Publishing.

Elin Runnqvist is a former PhD Student of Psycholinguistics on Marie Curie IEF at Aix-Marseille Université. Ian FitzPatrick is a Post-Doc at Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf. Kristof Strijkers is a PhD in Cognitive Science and Languages at Aix-Marseille Université, Laboratoire de Psychologie Cognitive. Albert Costa is an ICREA Research Professor at Universitat Pompeu Fabra. All co-authors have a number of publications on bilinguality. The book is intended for specialists working in the field of bilinguality. The article is aligned with other works chosen of the paper and is of high relevance to the hypothesis. The authors prove that quantitative differences between mono- and bilinguals do not result in qualitative differences.
