3. Not as 'Foreign' as You Think

Creating Bridges of Understanding across Languages

Chapter of: Creative Multilingualism: A Manifesto(pp. 69–86)
Chapter 3 deploys methods from historical and experimental linguistics to examine how speakers of one language manage to understand people speaking another (related) language, identifying strategies they use to create meaning in response to the ‘other language’ – and strategies with which they create barriers to understanding in order to preserve a distinctive identity.
