Linguists have always known about the importance of contact between different ethnic and cultural groups. These encounters have shaped our societies, our cultures, and thereby also our language. With two new series on multilingualism, we provide new scientific outlets which can inform current debates in society at large and contribute scientific facts and models to the discussions. These two series complement each other nicely:\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

Current Issue<\/i><\/span>s<\/i><\/span> in Bilingualism<\/i><\/span><\/a> \u2013 edited by Andrea C. Schalley (Karlstad), M Carmen Parafita Couto (Leiden), Susana <\/span>A. Eisenchlas (Griffith), Galina Putjata (M\u00fcnster), and Jorge Vald\u00e9s Kroff (Florida)<\/span> \u2013 publishes both theoretical and empirical studies on individual and societal bilingualism, and hence bridges the gap that has traditionally been reflected in different approaches to the field. It covers both linguistic and cognitive as well as educational, affective, and social aspects of speakers’ bilinguality.<\/span><\/div>\n
Contact and Multilingualism<\/i><\/span><\/a> \u2013 <\/span>edited by Isabelle L\u00e9glise & Stefano Manfredi (both CNRS SeDyL)\u00a0\u2013 <\/span> on the other hand looks<\/span> at multilingual practices and language contact both at individual and societal levels together with<\/span> historical, <\/span>socio-<\/span>anthropological<\/span> and <\/span>typological <\/span>issues<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Both series<\/span> have editorial boards of reputable scholars spanning several continents (CIB: 4, CAM: 6). And, of course, both series are Open Access, making sure that every person <\/span>i<\/span>n the world interested in <\/span>multilingualism<\/span> (which should, really, be everybody!) has access to the latest research on this topic regardless of location, affili\"Cover<\/a>ation or personal financial situation.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The first book to be published later this year is Arabic and contact-induced change<\/a> edited by Chris Lucas and Stefano Manfredi. This book will offer a synthesis of current expertise on contact-induced change in Arabic and its neighbours, with contributions written by many of the leading experts on this topic. Its purpose is to showcase the current state of knowledge regarding the diverse outcomes of contacts between Arabic and other languages, in a format that is both accessible and useful to Arabists, historical linguists, and students of language contact.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
