The University of Manchester today launched their new Multilingual Manchester web archive.
Multilingual Manchester is based at the School of Languages, Linguistics & Cultures at the University of Manchester. Their aims are:
- To document languages and language use in and around Manchester
- To study community language needs, language maintenance, and multilingual identities
- To examine issues of language policy in the Manchester area and to advise local authorities and services as well as businesses, schools, media, and community institutions about opportunities and benefits of multilingualism
Their activities bring together university students, experienced researchers of international repute, community representatives, and members of local services. Together they want to celebrate Manchester's linguistic diversity while building bridges among communities and encouraging individuals to learn more about their neighbours and their cultures and languages.
For more information please visit the Multilingual Manchester website.
