Transient Multilingual Communities - the TMC project
Across all sectors of society it is common for individuals and groups of people to interact with collaborators who do not have the same sociocultural and linguistic background as themselves.
Collaboration of this sort may take place within well-established frameworks, following practices that have been developed over considerable periods of time, but it will often unfold in contexts that are relatively short-lived and characterized by a certain fluidity in terms of the norms that guide the interaction.
This research project, funded by the Danish Council for Independent Research (DFF) from 2016-2019, focused on transient multilingual communities – TMCs for short – defined as social configurations where people from diverse sociocultural and linguistic backgrounds come together (physically or otherwise) for a limited period of time to work on a shared activity.
