<br>interlocutors use their respective mother tongue while speaking to each <br>other. Since the mid-nineties receptive multilingualism is promoted by the <br>European commission on par with other possibilities of increasing the
<br>mobility of the European citizens. Throughout the last ten years a marked <br>increase in the research on this topic has been observable. This volume <br>reveals new perspectives from different theoretical frameworks on
<br>linguistic analyses of receptive multilingualism in Europe. Case studies <br>are presented from contemporary settings, along with analyses of historical <br>examples, theoretical considerations and, finally, descriptions of
<br>didactical concepts established in order to transfer and disseminate <br>receptive multilingual competence. The book contains results from research <br>carried out at the Research Center on Multilingualism at the University of
<br>Hamburg as well as contributions by various international scholars working <br>in the field of receptive multilingualism. <br><br><a href="http://linguistlist.org/issues/18/18-2117.html">http://linguistlist.org/issues/18/18-2117.html
