🇪🇺 Unser Band zu Mehrsprachigkeit und Sprachpolitik in den Grenzregionen Deutschlands ist jetzt online (open access). Ich hoffe, wir müssen nicht in wenigen Jahren den nächsten herausgeben, wenn zunehmende Abschottung die mühsam erzielten Erfolge zunichte macht. www.nomos-shop.de/de/p/nachbar...

What happens when employees interact with speakers of other languages in the workplace? And why do some perceive this interaction as problematic while others do not? Read this interview with @daanhovens.bsky.social about #multilingualism in the workplace 👉 tinyurl.com/ym5dem6m

Happy to be in Maastricht today to discuss multilingualism and language policy in border regions. The grey weather quite aptly represents the context of radical rebordering that overshadows these topics.

Universities all over Europe are cutting language programs and closing the doors to the world. We want to get a more complete picture: where, when, why? If you know of any such cases, please tell us (and share the link with your language and linguistics contacts)! elomake.helsinki.fi/lomakkeet/13...

Wat bedoelen we precies met het veelgebruikte begrip “buurtaal”. Hoe succesvol zijn initiatieven om het leren van zogenoemde “buurtalen” te promoten? Meld je aan voor dit college gegeven door @daanhovens.bsky.social op woensdag 18 december om 19:30👉 tinyurl.com/mvxmcerc

Morgen protesteren we om 13:00 op het Malieveld in Den Haag tegen de onverantwoorde bezuinigingen op het hoger onderwijs. Zonder onderwijs - geen toekomst! Wij van @fasosmaastricht.bsky.social zijn erbij op het Malieveld. Zie ik je daar?

I am very excited about this one. And proud! “Whose language counts? Native speakerism and monolingual bias in language ideological research: Challenges and directions for further research” #OpenAccess & looking forward to your (critical!) comments 😊 www.degruyter.com/document/doi...
