Abstract
Abstract
Globalization, the Internet and an era of mass travel have combined to produce a world with a language mix on a huge scale. What is the effect of this multilingualism on society, organizations and individuals? What are the economic benefits and drawbacks? What are the implications of economic growth for endangered languages? This talk takes an objective look at this emotionally charged area, in a time of rapid global change.
