  • Summary

    Daniel Coste, the father of what has been coined “ plurilingual competence,” demonstrates "the intricacy of the historical, territorial, patrimonial, migratory, even ethnic and religious, and always economic, social, and political aspects that, depending on various configurations, affect the representations and positionings of social actors with regard to linguistic plurality." He helps us to tease apart “chosen plurilingualisms from forced plurilingualisms" and to remember that there are "unfortunate, insecure, perhaps handicapping plurilingualisms.”
