The collaborative research centre is investigating linguistic aspects of multilingualism interdiciplinary with, among other, psycholinguistic and sociolinguistic perspectives. The research focus lies in microanalyses of oral and written communication in multilingual settings and in language development in the bilingual individual. The languages studied include Basque, Danish, English, French, German, Greek, Italian, Japanese, Latin, Norwegian, Portuguese, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish, and several diachronic and regional varieties of some of these. Group K, Multilingual Communication, investigates the production and comprehension of multilingual language use in various social, cultural and institutional contexts. Group E, Acquisition of Multilingualism, investigates the simultaneous acquisition of more than one first language and successive acquisition of several languages, contrasting both to monolingual first language development. In addition acquisition impairments in bilinguals are examined. Group H, Historical Aspects of Multilingualism, is concerned with the ontogenesis and with diachronic change of multilingualism. In Group Z, Central Administration, a multilingual data base is being developed.
