Receptive Multilingualism
Receptive multilingualism is a practice in which individuals use their respective languages to communicate with speakers of other languages or understand another language using their receptive skills. This entry examines the theoretical framework of receptive multilingualism, followed by a brief exploration of its historical developments, linguistic and cognitive characteristics, and contemporary applications.
English as a lingua franca versus lingua receptiva in problem-solving conversations between Dutch and German students
In most universities, English as a lingua franca (ELF) is used for international courses. To promote linguistic diversity and facilitate first language education, some universities have experimented with lingua receptiva (LaRa). However, it is not clear yet which mode is most effective. This study compared the effectiveness of LaRa and ELF in conversations between Dutch and German students. Eight pairs of students, each consisting of one native D…

Combining cognitive and interactive approaches to lingua receptiva
This study takes an experimental approach to ‘lingua receptiva’ (LaRa), a communication mode in which interlocutors each use their own – different – native language. In contrast to previous work on LaRa, this study investigates the phenomenon in genetically unrelated languages. Native speakers of Estonian and Russian were engaged in a ‘map task’, which requires verbal interaction in the service of problem solving, i.e. finding locations on a map.…
Receptive Multilingualism
Receptive multilingualism refers to language constellations in which interlocutors use their own language while speaking to each other. This mode was widely applied in the Middle Ages, but linguistic constellations were transformed into monolingualism determined by nation‐state formation from the 17th to the 19th century. Mainly due to areas and countries where receptive multilingualism still flourishes, researchers have demonstrated increasing i…

Due to the new agenda on multilingualism of the European Commission, the High Level Group on Multilingualism (2007) recommended the study of receptive multilingualism (or intercomprehension) and investigation of communication strategies used by speakers of Scandinavian, Romance and Slavonic languages to improve intra-European communication. In this special issue, we present a series of articles that report on investigations about receptive multil…

This study analyses the appreciation of British and German users of the Amsterdam Rijksm…

Lingua receptiva (LaRa) - remarks on the quintessence of receptive multilingualism
This article introduces and defines the notion lingua receptiva (LaRa) as a mode of multilingual communication in which interactants employ a language and/or a language variety different from their partner's and still understand each other without the help of any additional lingua franca. The quintessence of lingua receptiva is discussed in terms of pragmatic, psycholinguistic and language psychology approaches to multilingualism. Moreover, the o…

Receptive multilingualism in Dutch–German intercultural team cooperation
Despite the typological proximity of Dutch and German, receptive multilingualism is seldom used in Dutch–German communication. This chapter explores the factors that influence the choice for receptive multilingualism as a mode of communication in German–Dutch encounters by reflecting on the relationship of the two languages and nation states. Furthermore, attention is paid to the institutional constellation and the relationships between the actua…
