This edited book explores the rising interest in minimal languages
- radically simplified languages using cross-translatable words and
grammar, fulfilling the widely-recognised need to use language
which is clear, accessible and easy to translate. The authors draw
on case studies from around the world to demonstrate how early
adopters have been putting Minimal English, Minimal Finnish, and
other minimal languages into action: in language teaching and
learning, 'easy language' projects, agricultural development
training, language revitalisation, intercultural education,
paediatric assessment, and health messaging. As well as reporting
how minimal languages are being put into service, the contributors
explore how minimal languages can be adapted, localised and
implemented differently for different purposes. Like its
predecessor Minimal English for a Global World: Improved
Communication Using Fewer Words (Palgrave Macmillan, 2018), the
book will appeal to students and scholars of applied linguistics,
language education and translation studies, as well as to
professionals in any field where accessibility and translatability
matter.
