MCM
2019

Abstract

We are academics and practitioners committed to multilingualism. Shared language is vital to social life, but linguistic diversity also plays a central role, and both the individual and society are enriched by language skills. We call on colleagues as well as students, activists and officials to pool our energies and expertise, to ensure that multilingualism and linguistic diversity are properly valued, developed and understood.
