The 2019 MoMM seminar: Multilingualism. From languages to speaks, uses and people.
What is multilingualism, and who are multilinguals? How are multiple languages taught, spoken and used in different contexts? These and many other topics will be discussed at the seminar “Multilingualism. From languages to speaks, uses and people.”
