The next Multilingual Cafe (OLE SIG) is scheduled for Wednesday June, 29th, 2022 from 7:30 pm to 9:00 pm and will take place online. - The theme is Hindi-Urdu with Nivedita Kumar (Mae Fah Luang University, Thailand) as a presenter. In the talk the presenter will use data from movies in Hindi and Urdu to map the similarities and mutual intelligibility of these two languages.
The OLE SIG wants to provide a space to meet and share using languages other than English, creating a community of practice. This is the Multilingual Café: meet and chat in your favorite language. The languages available depend on those attending on the day (for example French, German, Spanish, Thai, Hungarian, Chinese, Tagalog, Japanese and many more). After a short presentation we will meet in breakout rooms where different languages are used for further discussions. (Lingua Franca: English and Japanese)
