The model presented in this volume draws together various strands of research - second language acquisition theory, bilingualism research, dynamic systems theory - to develop a novel approach to this challenging subject. Its main focus lies on the psycholinguistic dynamics of multilingualism, the processes of change in time affecting two or more language systems.
Our evolving understanding of the role of English as a lingua franca and our growing sensitivity to the unique needs of students and teachers who communicate across languages and cultures has led to significant changes in language teaching, pedagogy, and curriculum design.

The contributions presented in this book apply agent-based methods to derive results from complex models related to market mechanisms, evolution, decision making, and information economics.

The papers presented in this collection combine approaches from economics, finance, computer science, natural sciences, philosophy, and cognitive sciences.

It provides an up-to-date overview of the sociolinguistic, psycholinguistic and educational aspects of research on third language acquisition by focusing on English as a third language.
Diese Arbeit verknüpft empirische Analysen institutioneller Gespräche mit sprachtheoretischen Fragen. Im Zentrum der Analyse stehen Verfahren, die Interagierende verwenden, um selbst wiederum über Sprache und sprachliche Interaktion zu kommunizieren. Im theoretischen Teil werden wichtige Entwicklungen im Übergangsbereich zwischen Sprachtheorie und Gesellschaftstheorie übersichtlich und umfassend dargestellt. Dabei wird nachgewiesen, dass die Gesprächsforschung für zentrale gesellschaftliche Prozesse unmittelbar relevant ist. Die Erkenntnisse aus dem Bereich kommunikativer, soziopragmatischer Wirklichkeitserzeugung werden für die praktische Gestaltungsarbeit in Organisationen 'vor Ort...
