Book Synopsis Multilingualism and Applied Comparative Linguistics by : Frank Boers
Book excerpt: In February 2006 the first international conference on Multilingualism and Applied Comparative Linguistics (MACL) was held in Brussels, Belgium. The aim of the MACL conference was to bring together scholars from various branches of applied linguistics with a shared interest in cross-linguistic and cross-cultural communication. The conference thus fostered an exchange of knowledge and expertise among researchers from various disciplines, including educational linguistics, cultural linguistics, terminography, translation studies and studies of specialised languages. The present book is the first of two volumes containing a selection from the approximately 120 papers that were presented at that three-day event.
