Receptive Multilingualism II
Organiser Thije, Jan D. ten
U of Utrecht ·Netherlands
Since the mid-nineties receptive multilingualism has been promoted by the European Commission together with other ways of increasing the mobility of the European citizens (e.g. English as lingua franca). Throughout the last ten years a marked increase in the European research on this topic has been observable.
In Symposium II, various linguistic dimensions (syntax, morphology, prosody, lexicon etc.) and their functions for mutual understanding are studied.
