Investigating the unexplored side of multilingualism in Casamance. The Crossroads project, led by Professor Friederike Lüpke. The results of the project will reveal through a social network study in which areas the languages influence each other least and most in structure, lexicon and speech-accompanying gesture. We also investigate the ideologies that underlie the complex multilingualism at the Crossroads. The project is supported by a Leverhulme Trust. Leave a Reply Cancel reply.
