Abstract. The article reveals the most topical issue of the language contacts theory: the complexity of defining the notion "bilingualism". Several common definitions of bilingualism (and the criterion of determining bilingualism) stated in works of the leading Russian and foreign scientists are presented. A comparative analysis of these definitions and a brief overview of the key notions are carried out. The most appropriate definition of bilingualism is specified, and research prospects are outlined.
Key words and phrases: двуязычие, первый язык, второй язык, родной язык, иностранный язык, первичная языковая система, вторичная языковая система, bilingualism, the first language, the second language, native language, foreign language, primary language system, secondary language system
