Our next event is part of the Amelia C. Murdoch 2013 Speaker Series:

Postmonolingualism and the Polyglot Urge: What It Means and What’s Left Behind
Sunday April 21, 2013 - 2-4 pm - Presented by Michael Erard, Ph.D.

Sometimes it seems that learning another language -- and sometimes several languages -- is growing more visible, if not actually becoming more popular as a pursuit. In his book about hyperpolyglots, Babel No More, Dr. Erard explored the neuroscience behind language learning talent and language accumulation. In this talk, he explores the culture and politics that shapes the urge to change one's brain, one's self, and one's status in the world through learning foreign languages even when one isn't part of a local multilingual community.

World English

2009-03-26T23:53:03Z

Jarobbins:

English is a global language but its vocabulary, spelling, and grammar varies around the world. This page is a first effort at tallying up the differences between English vocabulary as it is known throughout the English-speaking world. The most frequently known differences for people in the United States of America are between British and American English: Two countries divided by a common language. However, there are additional differences less well known to speakers of American English between American English and Australian English, Caribbean English, Canadian English, Indian (Asia) English, Irish English, New Zealand English, Scottish English, South African English, etc. Hopefully, with time we can get through them all to portray the astounding variety of ways a common language is used everywhere.
