Key objectives

The valorization projects of "Linguistics for All" aim at making the ACLC’s linguists’ knowledge about language accessible to a broader audience. 

Results

Having worked together in 2020 on the publication of the successful tear-off calendar for 2021 “Meer dan Woorden Alleen” (sold out), publishing company Lias has published in May 2022 the book "Taalmysteries" with captivating stories by the research group “Linguistics for All” about different facets of language, with the goal of making the ACLC’s work and beyond accessible to a broader audience.

Collaboration

Like the tear-off calendar “Meer dan Woorden Alleen”, the book "Taalmysteries" has been produced in collaboration with IXA (Innovation Exchange Amsterdam).

Events

The research group "Linguistics for All" has started a new project, which is the book "De wereld in taal: Een reis in 40 verhalen". The book will be published in May 2024. It is again produced in collaboration with IXA and publishing company Lias. The narrative style, content and length of the stories will make the book suitable for those who are interested in language issues.
