Aesthetics After Finitude by Prudence Gibson

Aesthetics After Finitude by Prudence Gibson

Reicht eine Weltsprache aus oder werden die Menschen durch eine Einheitssprache an der Mitwirkung in der internationalen Kommunikation gehindert? Ist die Forderung der europaischen Mehrsprachigkeit zu teuer oder sind die Kosten der Einsprachigkeit, wenn man ihre Auswirkungen auf die Entwicklung einer gemeinsamen europaischen Identitat bedenkt, hoher? Die vorliegende Publikation, die die anlasslich des europaischen Jahres der Sprachen von der Osterreichischen Akademie der Wissenschaften veranstaltete internationale Tagung Die Kosten der Mehrsprachigkeit - Globalisierung und sprachliche Vielfalt dokumentiert, diskutiert die widerspruchlichen Tendenzen internationaler Sprachenpolitik und schlagt Losungsmoglichkeiten fur eine zukunftige europaische Sprachenpolitik vor.
