Abstract:

A Polyglot Pocket Dictionary of Lingala, English, French and Italian
represents a glossary that allows the reader to appreciate positive diversity
and interculturalism through multilingualism. Building on, and referring to,
the author’s experiences of studying and living abroad as a series of
transits, transitions, and translations, it urges the reader to enhance their
global competency and brain power, and to seek cosmocitizenship through the
study of world languages and cultures. To this end, it shares enlightening
reflections on the benefits of multilingualism, and allows the reader to
develop basic language skills in Lingala, English, French, and Italian. As
such, in addition to the glossary, this work also contains key facts about the
languages at hand, as well as useful phrases, weekdays, numbers, and elements
of grammar.
