Focusing on the connection between emigration and bilingualism/trilingualism, this volume analyzes the cultural and linguistic passage of Cournos (1881-1966), Nabokov (1899-1977), Berberova (1901-1993) and Shteyngart (*1972). Such passage from Russian to English is examined from linguistic, narratological and sociological perspectives. The combination of languages originates in Cournos’s autobiography and stands out in Nabokov’s and Shteyngart’s texts. The volume offers an analysis of Berberova’s implicit bilingualism as well, represented by the expression of themes and the depiction of multilingual contexts pertaining to emigration.
