Isi artikel

In this article, we focus on the role English plays in multilingual chat rooms in Romance Languages. We intend to demonstrate how English, even as forbidden language in this particular setting, is a mediation and a remediation tool. Our conclusions point out that: (1) English is an constructive resource in multilingual communication; (2) it has a positive impact on multilingual education; and (3) it participates in individuals’ management of intercomprehension in Romance Languages.
