Multilingualism and Translation

This collection of essays wants to draw attention to the tricky interface between multilingualism and translation and discusses the current preliminary findings with a particular focus on Slavonic migrant languages.

This collection of essays tackles the issues that arise when multilingualism meets translation and discusses the findings with a particular focus on Slavonic migrant languages. Despite its high relevance from both the theoretical and the applied perspective, the intersection of multilingualism and translation has been rather neglected in international research on multilingualism. This volume intends to create a new angle within this wide field of research and to systematize the most relevant approaches and ideas on this topic in international Slavonic studies.
