Multilingualism in EU Institutions
Organiser Ammon, Ulrich
U of Duisburg-Essen · Germany
The EU treasures multilingualism as one of its core values, but can multilingualism also be maintained in its very institutions? The symposium would focus on the legitimacy and practicality of potential solutions to the problem. It is inspired by and related to the comprehensive research project DYLAN.
