<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">I thought this might be of
interest to list members, a short piece on BBC Radio 4's Today
programme this morning, about the future use of English in EU
institutions: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b09xcsp0#t=1h43m28s">http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b09xcsp0#t=1h43m28s</a>
(that link should take you straight to 1h43m28s into the
programme; if not just scroll along). </font><font
face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><font face="Helvetica, Arial,
sans-serif">For reference, the paper they're referring to in the
piece is here: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://doi.org/10.1111/weng.12264">https://doi.org/10.1111/weng.12264</a> (open access,
happily).</font><br>
<br>
I've also recorded the piece for people to download, as iPlayer
will only have it for a month: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://is.gd/Z1cfEX">https://is.gd/Z1cfEX</a>. (By the way,
allow me to recommend </font><font face="Helvetica, Arial,
sans-serif"><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://is.gd/">https://is.gd/</a>
as a free and ethical alternative to other URL-shortening
services; you can never be too morally superior!)</font><br>
<br>
Lastly, I suppose I would be in a dereliction of duty if I didn't
shamelessly plug my own recent co-authored article on language
hierarchies in the EU: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.academia.edu/35815469/">https://www.academia.edu/35815469/</a> (credit
to my co-author for writing the legal/institutional first half of
the article, which is most relevant here).<br>

Enjoy!<br>
