DYLAN
Language dynamics and management of diversity
The human language faculty has an endowment for multilingualism. Assuming that this can be confirmed, the view of child bilingualism as a potential source of possible disturbances must be abandoned. Instead, monolingualism can be regarded as resulting from an impoverished environment where an opportunity to exhaust the potential of the language faculty is not fully developed.
Jürgen Meisel, 2004
The DYLAN project will seek to identify the conditions under which Europe's linguistic diversity can be an asset for the development of knowledge and economy.
DYLAN is in an Integrated Project (Contract N° 028702) funded under Framework Programme 6 (FP6) of the European Union. The project embraces 20 research institutions in 12 European Countries and runs for five years.
