Internationalismen II

This collection is a sequel to the volume published by the same editors and with the same title in 1990 (RGL 102, out of print). It assembles articles describing, with reference to the present status of research, the incidence of 'internationalisms' in languages hitherto entirely or largely neglected in this respect (Dutch, Hungarian, Turkish, Japanese, Thai, Singhalese). These studies indicate the practical purposes that the results of research on internationalism can serve, notably in connection with lexicography and foreign-language teaching.
