The South African linguist Neville Alexander will receive the
Linguapax Award today in Barcelona, on the occasion of the Mother
Language Day. The ceremony is framed in the Intercultural Week
organised by the Ramon Llull University. Alexander, who coordinates
the Project for the Study of Alternative Education in South Africa has
devoted more than twenty years of his professional life to defend and
preserve multilingualism in the post-apartheid South Africa and has
become one of the major advocates of linguistic diversity.
