The project emphasizes the importance of the linguistic dimension for Translation and European Studies. The diversity of cultures in Europe is ensured by the diversity of languages / linguistic diversity and the common European concept can only be achieved by a better comparative understanding of its elements. Therefore the project unfolds in a wide European cooperation and by means of comparative linguistic studies on subjects like Oral Languages, the Concept of Intercomprehension, Theories of Grammar, Grammaticalisation and Lexicalisation, the History of Lexicography and Language-Learning.
The following activities are foreseen:
- Thematic Network Project on Intercomprehension as a EU-financed project;
- PhD-Course on Linguistics and Language Training 2007-2010 at the Viseu-school, directed by members of the CECC;
-Dictionary-project: Wörterbuch der Jugendsprache Portugiesisch-Deutsch/Deutsch-Portugiesisch. Dicionário da Linguagem dos Jovens Português-Alemão/Alemão-Português, edition co-supported by the Gulbenkian Foundation;
