Everyday Multilingualism

Linguistic diversity is a feature of all contemporary differentiated societies around the world. Dialects and standard languages, migrant and minority languages, different modalities and registers coalesce in public and private lives. On the one hand, diverse language users may experience barriers to participation in social institutions; on the other hand, multilingualism can be a great personal asset that enhances individual wellbeing.

This interdisciplinary lecture series examines different multilingual settings around the world, as well as the structures for dealing with multilingualism in those settings. Scholars representing the education and humanities faculties thereby investigate the consequences of multilingualism for individuals and society. The series will conclude with a critical consideration of the role of research in examining everyday multilingualism around the world and its impact on individual and groups of language users.
