%X This article explores material-semiotic movements of literacy and the collective potentials of an estranged relationship to language in early childhood bilingual education. It engages three different situations from a bilingual, Spanish-Swedish early childhood institution in Sweden with notions of a minor literature, as it appears in Deleuze and Guattari¡¯s writings. This engagement puts forward the material presences of language as well as the creativity of what could be called an (il)literate expertise: balancing and experimenting on the cutting edge between things and propositions. This involves an intensive, deterritorializing treatment of language, a ¡°becoming minor¡± with language in passionate, sensual, experimenting ways, rather than reproducing a standard, already known version of language. The discussion highlights the inventive processes of biliteracy as well as the need to differentiate the notion of expertise in early childhood bilingual education
